Satellite Operations: Antenna Support

Tue 23 September 2008

Now comes the interesting part. How do I hold up my antennas so they can twist and turn as required? I don't plan to be in the same location in two years so I don't want to do anything permanent. I currently have a 30-foot pole up next to the house that has been attached near the top of the house for stabilization. I don't know what kind of weight it can handle but I have been thinking about trying to mount the azimuth rotator to the top and then have a short piece of pipe hold the array up (including an elevation rotator. I wonder if anyone has ever done this.
