(micro-pistol) roof set-up. I'm replacing my 6 ft. quadpod roof tower with a somewhat unconventional 10 footer (an older, refurbished TET model that has a 4 foot base as a quadpod and a 6 foot, 4 sided, 6" face top section that will need to be guyed). The tower is kinda funky looking, hard to describe. The vertical section is just that...thrust bearing on top, rotor shelf to the second-to-the-bottom shelf. Total height is 6'5". This bolts to the bottom part, of which there are four of the pieces in the picture. It's 4'9" tall, for a total height of 11.5 feet. It looks like this: _____ <- thrust bearing | | | | | | | | <-- rotor shelf (abt 5 ft below the top) | | ----- <-- sections bolt together here / \ / \ Base width is 3'3" My plan is to put the C3-SS up 4 or so feet over the thrust bearing. I have a F12 rotatable dipole (actually, a C3->C4 expansion kit), and want to put that above the C3-SS. The questions are: -what's the recommended material for guying? -how high do I put the rotatable dipole over the tribander? -does the rotatable dipole go perpendicular or parallel to the tribander elements? -does the rotatable dipole need a balun? Thanks in advance, Eric W3DQ Washington, DC -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
