![]() Hi. I have been thinking of making an antenna support (for center of dipole, support of Jpole, etc) Was thinking of using 3 4x4 pressure treated lumber 12 foot lengths. Put them in cement 4 inces aprt (cement will be approx 4x4x4 feet. Put 3 vertical 4x4 into cement about 2 feet. At top of 4x4, create a pivot point, and add 2 4x4s between the other 3. Add another at the top between the two, overlapping the 3 and 2 and 2 and 1 4x4 by about 2 feet. Using 12 foot 4x4 that would give me about 30 feet. Will this work ? Would it stand without guying ? I plan to make this a tilt over at the top of the lower 3 4x4s, maybe extending the next tier of 2 4x4s with somthing on their bottoms to give more leverage for raising. Am I nuts ? (well.... I already know the anser to that... but will this work ? Thanks & 73 Jow, WB2JQT, Newark Valley, NY |
