You are right about the H50 but I am using the 9H50: ROHN 9H50 34 Foot Telescopic TV Antenna Push Up Mast Ships UPS

Ok, maybe you can answer these questions: What size Eye screws? Length and diameter? What size S hooks? Do you use S hooks at both ends of the guy rope or just at the mast? I will be mounting the GM on the ridge of the roof in the center of my home, so tell me how you would ground the...

Now I am even more confused, Doc and you both said "Those items would work fine for tensioning a screen door, but not for a 30 - 35 foot mast" and to forget that hardware I was proposing, but it appears to me that the Eye Screws I am proposing is larger than what you have in the photo you...

I'm sorry, I don't understand, can you please go into more detail on which Eye and S hooks, and metal brackets at both ends you are referring to? Perhaps you can supply links and pictures? I will be mounting the antenna on the peak of my roof with this mount: Roof Base Mount for...

Ok guys, please help me out. What fasteners and connections would you use?

The 9H50 mast has 5 guy wire location on the mast. Approximately 6', 13', 20', 27' and 34'. I thought I would guy wire the top 4 sections with 4 guy wires each. If I needed to attach guy wires on the bottom section (6') that would be easy enough to do at a later time by myself. With these...

So you think the 1/8" Kevlar will be strong enough for this mast? What kind of clamps do you use with it? I know I will need some turn buckles.

I am ordering this one because it can be shipped UPS for about $54 and the regular H50 ROHN H50 Telescopic Push Up Antenna Mast shipping cost is like $150. The H50 total extended length is 43 feet. I think that 50-54 feet off the ground to the bottom on the SGM should be plenty, especially...

Hear is the mast I am going to get: ROHN 9H50 34 Foot Telescopic TV Antenna Push Up Mast Ships UPS

Delete Post! Thought I still had it but I don't, Sorry.

I am planning on using a 4 point guy wire tie down. Looking at the mast and the factory recommended guy wire points, there are 5 point on the mast shafts to put guy wires, that means 20 different guy wires! I can see that this is going to get costly for guy wire (rope). With regular 6 strand, 18...

I've been thinking about getting my license. Even picked up a couple of books to prepare me for the test but just haven't done it yet. After getting setup at home again I'll have to devote some time and get it. Thanks for the link on the guy wire. I imagine I will have to support the fully...

I have ordered a GM and trying to get all the components to install it but I have a few questions. At this point I will be installing the GM on a Rohn 9H50 on top of my roof, thanks to the encouragement of CDX-007. Is there any SWR adjustments on the GM? Do I need to ground the antenna or...

Thank you! I appreciate your help. I've looked a little for the Dacron covered Kevlar guy wire but couldn't find any. I have started a new post "Setting up a Sirio Gain Master, have questions!" may you have some answers to my questions. Thanks again, BB

We will see in extreme conditions 50 to 60 MPH wind gusts, but rarely. Yes, I have a single story home with a daylight basement. I would use 4 guy wire tie downs if I do decide to mount it on the roof. Sorry I don't understand how you are mounting the 2x4 for the guy wires. If I did mount it on...

I am about ready to pull the hammer on a Rohn R-9H50 which extends to 34' in length, that is about 14' higher than the peak of my roof, however mounting it on the gable side of my house, I can't string any guy wires. I am afraid that extending the mast to full length and having 14' of mast...

You have hit on a point that has brought me back into CB's, got out in the 80's. I got back in, in case of an National Emergency! I am not trying to be negative but look around guys! Look where our government is leading us? Look at the money they are printing devaluation it to where soon it will...

I am just starting to get back into CB's. I was really heavy into them in the 70's-80's. Had a Super Penetrator and a Moon Raker IV along with a Tempo One base and several different mobiles. I am seriously thinking about purchasing a Gain Master and mounting it on a gable side of my house with...

So if I have read this right, and please correct me if I am wrong, it doesn't make any difference if the GM is mounted to a steel or fiberglass mast. I was thinking of getting a few lengths of steel rigid electrical conduit for a mast, will this work? I think it is 1 1/2" in diameter, and they...
