Subject: [TowerTalk] Utility poles


Greetings to the list.  Has anyone here used a standard wooden
telephone/utility pole to support an HF beam?  I am thinking of having
the local utility install one at my QTH.  The big problem I see is how
to support a rotor.  Does anyone make a rotor and thrust bearing mount
for such poles?
