Think you got a winner here.
amazing. great engineering.
TRUELY IMPRESSIVE!
Pretty slick. It really needs more guy points at that height though. Minimum of four to be strong enough for any sort of wind gust.
Couldn't those locking straps be better replaced with either a screw in joint, or a single locking pin? Might take a second longer to align the holes(or make it so a pole can only be inserted one way so the holes line up), but less tools and hardware needed. 1, 2 inch pin with a lock is smaller than those straps.
It looks like an oil drill, but in reverse.
So why not zip tie the coax to the mast as you go up? Do you just leave it hanging 60'? Thanks for the video
My name is Daniel McHan. GMRS call sign is WSCE729. I am the COO of Hightower Fabrication. I wanted to let everyone know that we are looking to manufacture this apparatus and sell it those that are interested. I’d like to know what you guys are looking to get out of this product. What are your needs, concerns and any questions let me know by responding to this comment, thank you.
I’m not an amateur radio operator but I am deeply involved with GMRS though (WRXY695). I’ve watched a lot of ‘antenna raising’ videos over the years but have NEVER seen one as ingenious as yours is! Absolutely fantastic! Great video! 73s! ~Jim in Houston,Texas~
Hello Jim, this is Daniel WSCE729. I’m interested to see what your needs, concerns and questions are regarding this product are. Also, let’s say you were to buy one for yourself or for your radio club, what would you be willing to pay for the ability to get this kind of height out of an antenna this easily?
Nice system Man! And safe too!
Thank you! Quick question, what do you think the ability to raise your antennas to such a height this easily would be worth to your pocket if you were ever to purchase one?
Very cool 😎 is it possible to put this on top of roof of a row house??
For sure! Let’s say you purchased one right? What would it be worth to you to be able to do that?
Well done. Very impressive design!
Dang, I can't watch this. I'm not a HAM.
Haha, at least a gmrs right?
You cant do a video about a mast with all those tall trees in the background 😂 I would use them anytime. Nice job though
Are you gonna climb that tree or you gonna let this mast do all that work for you?
@@OfficialTEG I made a BIG slingshot, no need to climb and really fun to shoot. Bad thing about trees is swaying in the wind. I use both, trees and masts.
That was a great idea. You should put a patent on that contraption. I love it.
Already have, looking to distribute this product
Oh, this is good! Going to have to buy this
I see, what would you be willing to pay for a product that allows you to reach such a tall height so easily?
What a great system for raising an antenna to a height you want. Amazing setup! de n1zw Rob
How to raise a tower high, by Hightower! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great video!
That’s why we’re going to preface the product name with “Hightower” I mean, it only makes sense
smartest approachs.. 73 de 9m8haz
Kinda like an oil drilling rig, but goes up instrad of down. Love it.
Outstanding. I wish you werre in Hawaii, I would like to rent one of those, or purchase one myself.
We are looking to start distributing these no matter where you are. What do you think this product is worth to your and/or your club ?

Simple and elegant solution to a real world problem. The definition of good engineering. Great job!!!!!
Hey there Daniel! Although I was very impressed with your antenna setup I wouldn’t be able to buy one. I was barely fortunate enough to be allowed to put up a 21’ pole and GMRS antenna on our property where I reside. Also, after retiring in 2015 from 38 years of cross country trucking I’ll be going back on the road soon to see all the things I didn’t get to see while trucking…so, that’s another reason [even if I ‘was’ allowed to put up such an elaborate system like yours]. I’ll be traveling more than I’ll be at home. Have a great day and stay safe! Best regards!
Brilliant. Wish there was one in AU VK7KW
There always can be! What would you be willing to pay for a brilliant product such as this?
Oh man I need this!! Absolutely awesome! I’m almost 66 and broke my back 6 years ago so I can do very little antenna work. This would put me back on the air. de KA4BYP.
What do you think the ability to do this and achieve a clear line of sight would be worth to you?
This is great. If you can make this work the other direction, you can come to Texas and start pumping oil.
Awesome design !!❤
Thank you for sharing with us
Clarck t70 series does the samen .. its not a new concept
No middle guys needed ? isnt there any hula hoop movement in the middle of the mast in some wind ?
I sent you an email.
Helpful content and good editing. Nice. Thanks!!
What are the specs for windload? Got any charts?
Thanks for the video. Good stuff!
It reminds me of watching drilling roughnecks handle drill pipe, but going up instead. Great concept.
Wow! I love that I could use that. KC5UUS
There USED to be government surplus mast systems that needed 3 people to raise a mast 50 feet in the air. Guying along the way. It was a step-by-step procedure. I think the nomenclature was AB577 GRC...Ontario Surplus. I do not think they are offering this system anymore. But this video will help the ham op to get something up and running. 25 feet don't cut it.
Hi Chad your tower design is indeed an ingenious one, I have an interest in using it to support a 2 element HF quad. Please list your email address and telephone # for enquries...
You definitely got my attention with this design! 73 and happy dxing de KC5TER
same idea as the army temp towers with the what 7ft cage for the what he is use as the tripod. nice i like it.
You are definitely the "MAD SCIENTIST KING" of antenna mast raising. That is a neat unique system that looks to be a very safe system to raising an antenna to a nice workable height.
I wonder how wind resistant this is .
This is genius to the highest degree. Do you have the plans on line anywhere?
my dipoles at 17 and 30 feet will pavement stomp anything you can put on that mickey mouse tower
where can i buy that setup? Very nice
Are you selling these? I could see one in my future if you did. My club would probably buy a couple of them also as we have two masts we use on Field Day that are "assemble and tilt/raise" style. We do have a 3rd that is very similar to this, military surplus, that cranks up all the sections at the same time (they are attached with straps internally inside a larger tube). However, it is a monster and only goes up 30 feet or so.
why don't you answer your e-mails?
I have heard you on the Spartanburg repeater or the Camp croft repeater. I probably have spoken to you before also
Absolutely GENIUS! My hat's off to you my good man!
GENIUS ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Have no doubt I'll be seeing your product on the market soon. Great stuff ! 73
