I wouldn´t call it a beast. You can look at this picture,
the second one from the top is a 40m dipole, the whole
80ft tower rotates.

A coupple of telescoping fishing rods and some more
fiberglas tubing, some wire straped to it with ty-wraps,
a mounting plate and some common sense, it´s been up
there for years. Oh I forgot, some phillystran for the
top guying.

73 good luck / Jim SM2EKM
