[TowerTalk] roof mount Tripod

[Steve Katz]

Glenn Martin Engineering (GME) sells four-legged roof towers from "very short" to quite tall.  They are all made of extruded aluminum and easy to assemble but very strong.  They all have a "rotator plate" in them, as part of the standard design.  The plate accommodates Hy-Gain and Yaesu rotators (all bell housing designs) and mounts inside the roof towers, even their shortest one.  They all have an upper bracket directly above the rotator mount where a thrust bearing can be installed, and they sell the bearings as well.

I've used several of these over many years at different locations, and they're good.
