The Athens Radio Club and the NE Georgia Amateur Radio Club joined forces once again for Field Day 2011. This video shows two beam antennas being raised into position.
I think a re-design should be in order... We have a beam antenna that we put up for FD that has more structural strength than that beam does... Also it is mounted on a 30 foot tower which is assembled, and then we have a boat winch on the front of the trailer connected to the front brace the tower comes against to crank it from the lowered position to vertical which is 90 degrees, and we do it with no difficulty.
