Hi I have right now a shakespear antenna the big stick i want to talk good so I am thinking of getting a pdl2 or MR 4. My question is i have a 25 ft tower at the top it just has the clamps to clamp a nother pole on any way my house is about the hight of 25 ft so if i get a beam can i put like a 20 FT PUP on tup and then put a antenna on that? or what shall i do this is all new to me |

Well 1st of all that old pipe needs to come out...then you need a rotator to turn the beam. I wouldn't want to invest my money, then have it suported by a flimsy set up...the rotator must be inside of the tower itself to give you the maximun suport and strenght to withstand wind storms of any speed. As far as which beam to use?..Well that all depends on space and a few other things. The PDL beam is a good chioce and works well. It is used in many applications where space is limited... I have seen them last for over 25 yrs in a few instances. It is all a mater of personal preference....Just one Opinion for what its worth....OHIOBIKER... |

id add more sections of tower,that would be best in the long run.and use a thick walled pipe as a mast. |
