This video is a higher resolution update of my 2008 video, which pulled in more than 45,000 views ...
PLEASE NOTE ! ! ! THIS AB-1339/G MIL-SURPLUS TELESCOPING MAST IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT SURPLUS OUTLETS ! ! !
IT SHOWS UP ON eBAY ONCE A YEAR AND SELLS FOR $1,000+ ...
In April of 2008, I mounted my Traffie Technology HX-5Bi 5-Band Hex-Beam on a 15-meter crank-up telescoping mast ... I fabricated an electric winch and mount to facilitate raising and lowering the antenna ... this makes it easy to lower the Hex-Beam to work on the rotator or antenna, when we have severe weather here in Metro Atlanta, GA, and when we are away from home ...
I raise and lower this antenna 25 to 30 times each year ...
The telescoping mast is self-supporting, but I use 2 sets of triple guy-lines for extra support ... the 3/16" guy-lines are Dacron covered Polyester ... they are U/V resistant and THEY DO NOT STRETCH when wet ...

The line grips shown in this video are available at Amazon ...

@@k8eab67 just noticed your name. Not Weymouth MA is it?
@@Patmosphere My father, me, my son, and his son all have the Weymouth name ... not sure why my Grandmother gave her son that name ...
Your wife must be very understanding with that arrangement on the steps. My wife is a gentle soul but I might have to sleep with an eye open if I did the same here...LOL

I removed the hand crank and the steel cable so that I could wind the telescoping mast's cable around the winch spindle ...
Hope this helps ...
