LOL, I live in NY but my Son is a Lee County Commissioner in Sanford, NC and grand son on Benhaven FD! I have two Ham Antennas but no tower yet, my next Ham investment.
-
Love this video. Very well explained ππ»

I would never stand anywhere near that Cable under tension, if failed, could almost cut a person in half.

He is using white zip ties to hold the coax to the boom. Bad idea as the white zip ties fail quickly due to UV from the sun. He should use the UV rated black zip ties or wire twisted around the boom to hold the coax in place.

wonderful
-
My dad was a ham operator and owned his own amateur radio club he's gone now at the tower still stands 150 ft up
-
That's it, leave us hanging? Why didn't you show us up close it standing and connected to the base?
-
We found that white/clear cable ties deteriorated with exposure to UV over time and would break. Black holds up far better.

its very dangerous with the steel wire....

That 2m beam isn't mounted correctly. If you mount a vertically polarized beam on a vertical mast pipe, the mast acts like an extra element in the wrong place and destroys the pattern and gain of the antenna. Vertically polarized beams should always be mounted on a cross boom (like the 440 beams in this video).
