My radio club - Lake Area Radio Klub, Watertown, SD - has two antenna 'hinges' for sale. They are kind of like a poor man's tilt plate without the locking mechanism. We have used them for Field Day for many years, but the club has opted to replace the old tribanders (which have sold) with hexbeams. The two benefits of these are:
	
	1. They allow the antenna connected parallel to the ground.
	2. They make for fast antenna attachment by simply inserting the pins/bolts.

They make for easy up and down with a tilt over tower. We are asking $75 each for them and if we have to ship ask another $10 each towards shipping and we will pick up the rest of the shipping charges. We would be happy to sell you one or both.

I have attached some pictures but do not remember if tower talk passes pictures. If not, you can see some pictures here:

Small_zHingeC.jpg is an older picture and does not show the holes that were drilled later to accommodate the nuts on the u-bolts. The clamping blocks, mast, boom, etc.. shown in Small_zHingeC.jpg are not included.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and/or would like additional information. I may even be able to find a video somewhere if you are really interested.
