Hello all, Thanks for all the great suggestions! What I am trying to guy is a fiberglass mast comprised of military camo netting supports. When up it will be 37’ tall. (10 x 4’ sections, - 3’ for the interconnects between poles) I’m hoping this will get my 2m loop stack into the bottom of the 2m SSB sweet spot, height wise. My 6m loop will also be on this, probably at about 30’.
A company called Go Vertical USA ( www.goverticalusa.com<http://www.goverticalusa.com> ) markets these poles along with a slick swivel spike arrangement where it would allow someone to put up a light yagi, or a couple of loops and a light vertical somewhat quickly, and it’s man portable (military oxymoron?) at less than 50 lbs in one duffel sized package. I demo’ed the aluminum tripod version at a BVARC meeting about a year ago. I’m going to avoid the dog tethers as I think the sandy soil I have in Woodville would allow them to pull out too easy, that’s why I’m looking for the screw/auger type (thanks for someone giving the correct term, it was driving me nutz) which I think will be tougher to pull out. These will not be permanent YET. I plan on finding the best location on the lot possible and use them until I can get a real tower installed, and then later, for portable operations. Thanks again everyone. Maybe I’ll catch some of you on the air this weekend. 73, Rob, KC5RET From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob McClure via BVARC Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 5:47 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Subject: [BVARC] Guy line anchors - Local source? Hello all, I'm looking for a local source for light guy line anchors. These look to be about 12" to 18" long with loop on one end for the guy line and what looks like a soil sampling screw on the other. Does anyone know if these can be had locally? Thanks in advance. 73, Rob, KC5RET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information of Cameron and its Operating Divisions.
