[TowerTalk] KT34A and no tower

[Hector Garcia XE2K]

scott:

that installation you have in  mind will be good just
for medium size TV antenna or just a 2m 12ft boom yagi

just with luck a 3 elements 10m yagi 

but not a KLM  KT34A 

i think your mast is a telescopic mast rohn type, 

maybe  2- 2.5 inch diameter heavy wall maybe can work
as mast  in your plans,  the separation in the rotor
-antenna is too big,  at most 1 ft , the rotor hd73 is
light duty.

ask to a pro for your specific installation need,
there are several options easy and more safe.

roof tower is a good one
