Our lofty and clean antenna!
- Support Pipe 6063-T6 Aluminum masting
- Guyed to ends of roof peak and to eaves
- Hinged base
- Uncouple one eave guy and lay it down
- Lightweight. Can be lowered by one person
- Diamond X30A half wave Antenna
- Feedline is RG-214 type Double-Shielded
Note that this type of mast obtains its full height. Others like to strap the pipe masting to the building, losing most of the height that could be otherwise obtained. I have seen some antenna installs that have the top of the pipe just 3 feet above the roof. May as well have used a broomstick nailed to the eave!
I think the GE's make the best repeaters. The GE's have top loading, large capacity, extended rinse cycles, soap savers, finish buzzer and have more Chrome than Maytags.
