Hi Bryan,
I think I make what you are looking for.  If you look at www.Penninger.com you can see a portable base unit that with the clamp-it clamps is very flexible in what you can put together.  If you have any questions, please ask feel free to contact me at Radio at Penninger.com .  We used these bases at our field day.
Thanks & 73 de kc9dao. 
Charles.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Portable tower info


Our local amateur club is working on putting together a portable emergency communications package that can be used in case of local emergency.  Everything has gone together very well except we are having problems putting together some type of support for a HyGain TH-3 triband beam.  

We are trying to keep the size of the entire communications package down to where it will fit in the back of a Suburban-Explorer type SUV or a pickup.  We need to come up with some highly portable way of 
supporting the TH-3 up 30-40 feet that could meet this criteria if possible. I would appreciate hearing from the tower guru's about ideas on how to handle this situation.

As a possible alternative, we have considered some type of trailer mounted tower system that could 
easily be hauled to a location and erected at the site by a couple of people EASILY.  Any ideas or 
suggestions about this possibility would also be appreciated. Portability and ease of quick erection 
are the keys to either of these options.....

Thanks
