[Antennas] Fold Over Pole

[Richard Biddle]

Once upon a time I had some plans for a good reliable fold over antenna
pole.  I want to put up a small set of VHF/UHF beams and a CD44 rotator at
40 foot or so.   I have access to free pipe and a gentleman who welds for a
living.  I can't find my plans and I suppose I could have on of the
mechanical engineers up at work cobble something up, but I seem to remember
the plans had worked out most of the kinks especially for the base and pivot
point construction and counter weights.

I am mobility limited so the fold over looks very good since I won't have to
climb a tower.

Any suggestions - a google search came up empty as did rummaging through my
30 year compilation of ARRL and other reference books.  However I did very
much enjoy the smell of the old books (lots of boatanchor manuals are there
too) so just the planning part was worth while :)

Thank you and 73 de Richard, KB5WLH
