[VHFcontesting] mast

[aduhawk@comcast.net]

Back in the day...when I was NC9F I used the same type of mast.  I had a 14' length that had a 20' boom 2m beam, stacked CC424Bs, and a pair of 1296 loopers side by side.  The mast came out of the tower about 10 feet.  On the other tower I ran a 24' boom 6m antenna, a K1FO 17' 220 beam and a satellite cross boom setup with an elevation rotor.  The mast was about 6 feet out of the tower.

They worked great, I still have them in (sigh) storage.  The tower with 2, 432 and 1296 bent in a great wind in.  The mast stood up to it.  If Pat and I give up the cliff dwelling existence some time, these masts will be back in the game. 73, Tim K0PG
