short tilting mast

[BOOTY MONSTER]

it's a 12 ft pressure treated 4x6 a little over 2 ft in the ground with 80 lbs of concrete . it's attached to a PS 2x4 to hold it out from the gutter/house and that 2x4 is attached to a PS 2x6 under the soffitt and lag bolted to the rafter tails .

here's the bottom with the 1/2 inch bolt going through the 2 inch pipe and the 3 1/2 inch side of the treated 4x6 .



here's the bracket that holds it , its 2 of the 2 inch conduit brackets doubled up . i also added a bent rod to hold it in place while im taking the bracket on and off .



here's a pic of the other side i did 2 holes for the rod for either side



and here's a view of it from the deck . i angled the hole for the rod/pin down so wouldn't vibrate out



its seems plenty sturdy for a omni ...... i wouldn't put beams and a rotor with additional mast between them though . i think this would work pretty well with a freestanding 6x6 away from a house also . given the ammount of trees around the house , the deck and power lines on the 100 ft + towers back behind the house i didn't feel that wasn't a option for me ...... i didnt want the tip of the antenna directly under those lines . i did a video of it tilting over , but it came out really dark . probably cause it was overcast and on a old digital camera , been raining steady about 45 mins now . yep homer , ill definitely do a far away pic to show the whole setup when its done . the feed-point is gonna be about 19 ft 6 inches , so with 31 1/2 ft of vertical the tip will at 51 ft .
