[PPRAANet] Gin Pole Needed

[WA6IFI]

I recommend you use Ray’s pole. Mine is “gunned” up from a slightly bent section of a DB-224 antenna and a tower clamp. Ray’s is much better.

I am willing to climb the tower to do the necessary work but to pull the rotor will require a Gin Pole. When the antenna was mounted on the tower the mast was lowered all the way down to rest on the bottom of the bell housing so the rotor can not be removed without lifting the mast and antenna up about 4 inches.  If you have a Gin Pole and can deliver it to the club station that would be great.  I am not sure of a date yet but Tom (K0BUL) is working on that.  I can get a Gin Pole (almost sure) from Woodland Park but I do not have a pick up truck.  If you can help out let me know at kt0dx at q.com
