Yes, and its a design that has been proven for 50 years or more. The weight of the mast, rotor and antenna are not going to lift up, and the plate has tabs that wedge in to the bracing preventing it from moving. Its fine.
I agree its probably better not to run the conductor through the concrete, however, many will argue this point with some good reasoning. In my case, the conductor will be pressed into the dirt wall along side the concrete pour. The rod will be center front of the hole against the wall.
I’ve been driving past your place for a while, I noticed when your tower went up, it’s a well thought out set up.
I know the areas in your vid's, you must live to the west of me. Stop by some time.
Good move adding the extra rio bars for sure...no brainer looking at it the way it is.
oh i want one!!!!!!!! That is a very top notch install man. Good job.
I'm envious! Nice, can't wait to see it up. 73
Its up! Antenna and all.
How much overlap between the sections? What determines how much?
👏👏👏👏
Did you use the Tashjian rotor plate? I’m concerned it doesn’t bolt in, it just lays in there

Thanks!
The rod into the base is not recommended. It there is a lightning strike the base could crack.
