I have just bought a Versatower P60HD with no base included but I plan to do what you have. I currently have a 15 meter telescopic tilt over mast that is bolted to the house wall and sits upright in a purpose built frame , More infor on my QRZ page (M0UGE) next project is to get the Versatower mounted and working like the current mast - yours looks great well done !
Keith good video! Curious do you plan to leave the wench out in the weather or have a detach method to only attach it when needed? The only thing i saw which i would have changed is the nylon tie straps. I learned the hard way many years ago to use black nylon tie straps as they are UV light resistant and will last a lot longer than the white ones. A minor item but i suspect you can change that any time you want since you have a very cool tilt over design :) .
I am going to cover the wench with something. Haven’t decided what yet. I did also use electrical tape to attach cables to the tower in case the ties break

How much force is on a raising cable and the base?

Good deal . I am coming up with a design similar to yours. Thx for sharing and please post any updates you have a good installation. God bless.
I also like the side mount for the other antenna!
Where did you attach the winch cable to the tower?
30 foot level
How tall is the pipe with the winch?
About 20 feet
