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?

Barry,

At Fort Monmouth, K2USA, they had monobanders @ 100', on wooden poles.
Telrex fabricated a bracket system from angle iron, which was lag screwed
into the pole.  You might conjur up something similar, or get someone
to pay a visit to the fort and take a picture of the mounts, to give
you an idea.  

Telrex is no longer in business.
