    I desperately want a trailer like that.

    Thanks Kyle! Looks like a great option for the HOA resident without trailer exclusions.

      The yagi for it is huge and can't be done by one person, but a smaller 2 element dipole or maybe a hex beam might be possible.

    Oh yeah! As the NASCAR announcers say "crank it up baby!"

      It is pretty slick. Can't wait to put the beam on it and give it a go. I'll have to recruit some help for that after I get the rotator.

      It just needs an easier to setup antenna for the top so one person can do it. You know I want to POTA this thing.

    You are welcome to store that in my back yard! 😁 Seriously, where did you get that from? That would make a great part of an EmComm setup.

    I hear pawls ratcheting when you crank the lower section to vertical. Wouldn't they prevent the tower from free-falling back to the horizontal position? Nice work and video, Tom!

      Yes, but when you are bring it down you have to disengage the pawls and it free spools and you don't want to forget to engage it when putting it up.
