We decided to take photos of our 80 meter and 40 meter antenna's while
being put up on a 10 foot section of antenna mast. Any
mast or pipe will do as long as its not over 1.25 inches (31 1SM) in
diameter.

Installation Instructions
Here I'm sliding the
antenna onto a 10 ft. section of 1 inch mast.
Here we go, its all the way down the mast now. Notice a small
bolt sticking up. This is the stop for the mast and can be
removed and you can drill your mast and re-insert the bolt thru
both the mast and pole if you like. I don't but you might want
to.
Standing it up. All of this only takes a few minutes and you're
ready to go on the air. It makes a great emergency antenna too.
There we are, tying it off with wire and I'm done.
I've worked all over the U.S.A. with this very setup. Dx is
good with a pair of these setup in the direction of interest.
You may get a choke like this or a loose wound model that's
replacing it.
Note, all newer antennas come with a 1:1 Balun in a waterproof
box instead of the choke shown.
The next page shows the 80 meter antenna and its floor mount.
