11 meter high Crank up Tilt over aluminium Ham Radio tower for ON8EI

This is my locally built 11 meter high crank up tilt over aluminium Ham Radio tower. I am using the SP1DX 6 band hex beam. It really is a great antenna. I am oh so happy with it. The tower is easy to use and so handy.

Very nice. My tower is a 65' crank up tilt over. So much easier with the cranking to stand and lower then muscling it in place. I have a Sirio 827 on top of my tower.

[@TimothyDreas]

Hi John, Hex beam looks great up there on top. Do you have plans for building this tower please? Or contact info? Thank you & 73'

I very much like that crank up mast. 73s

[@srickard99]

Construction details, please!

[@wildbill1]

Very nice tower. Only thing that would make it better would be an electric winch instead of all the manual cranking

Badass.

As they say; height is might!

[@garydavis-mu8xc]

is this a home built mast? what did you use for stock? great antenna!

[@RadioJingles100]

I would imagine you would have to be careful if there was any wind about? I can't see that still standing in a storm or strong wind?

[@mikemcdonald5147]

so sweet do you have any videos showing the building of the antenna? can you tell me approximate cost to have it built>?

[@ON8EI]

I paid 1400 euro all done, I heard aluminium is hard to get and gone very expensive.

[@aaronmiller112]

Great big spider web! Good job. Is that a brake winch?

[@ON8EI]

I am just watching your channel. Yes it's a very cheap auto brake winch. Fool proof. Hex beam works great. 73's JD.

[@garyjones630]

was the crank up tower home made or bought? any info would be helpful .
