HAM + CB Roof Antenna Tripod Install

Finished product of my 3ft roof antenna tripod. Unsure of whether to add another mast (~12 ft total height), then put the Sirio 827 10/11m vertical on top of that (21 ft height). Or add two, maybe three more masts on top (~16-20 ft total height), and guy-wire it.

It doesn't look plumb in the video... but I'll chalk that up as an illusion.

The mast is vertical, give or take about 5 degrees of lean. I got it almost perfect with a level. The roof top itself is another story. Due to the addition, there's less slant on the south side than the north.

put a 10 foot tall poll and a imax 2000 on top will work great

Hihi!

I need to do a new video, as my antenna is officially installed!

Maco V58 on top of 15 feet of guyed mast. Worked Mexico on 10m today, 1636 miles, 5-9 both ways on 130w.
