They are indeed and now quite the investment. I'm not sure I am up to the task these days.

Several ton :-).

 

Just a rental so no longer have it. Towers just seem to be so much work and not something I want to mess with. A fixed fortification. LOL

Holy moly Scott that was a ton of work. With that equipment you possess that makes great tower base work easy. 73 Jay

Background: Over the last week, I removed 6 huge stumps in the side yard, including the one I had my hexbeam mounted on. See pics. They will make good tie offs for sloper wires until I ultimately get rid of them!

 

But last night about 10:00 local with the hexbeam sitting in a bucket on the ground, I was seeing VU with a -9 sig and had an FT8 QSO on 17m with Robert on Rodriguez Is.--10,000 miles! I love this antenna. LOL
