Mast size & Imax 2000 Height?

[Heavy Metal]

Just got my rohn 45 up. Went with 1 1/4 1.66 od schedule 80. Well the u bolts on the imax would not go around 1.66 so...had to do a little modification. Picked up a piece of 1/4 x 5 x 12 aluminum flat stock for $8. It's up now and works good at 59ft to the so239..

How I did it and it's on fence rail tops







Actually wanted to do it in thick
Plexi glass rather than 2x4's

Great, we will be going out tomorrow to get the telescoping mast and put it up, I just have to see how much coax I need.

Again thanks for all the help looks like I may be up and running in a week or so.

Thanks

If you haven't purchased coax yet consider LMR 400. Make sure it's the real deal. There's many imitations out there. It's probably the best investment I made when setting up my station. A bit more expensive but worth it. Purchased mine from seller saigemlaiden on eBay. For jumpers go with the 400 ultra flex or the LMR 240. It very flexible. That actually reminds me of how stiff the LMR 400 is. If for some reason you need your antenna to station cable to be flexible go with the 400 ultra flex or the LMR240. Good luck. 73
