Portable Operation on a Vehicle-Mounted Mast

While on a recent visit to Noel, N2OEL at his home in Ocala, Florida, I had the opportunity to add four green military poles to my existing pivoting antenna mount and top it with an M2 Nanostation.  It worked really well and was a simple, single person, walk-up task that was pinned to the post on top of the 2 inch hitch mount.  With the aluminum version of these poles, I could have added three more sections and had it at 32 ft.  In this case we were at 21 ft.  If you use the plastic/fiberglass military poles, then four or possibly five on top of the aluminum pivot pole is all you can do without guys and help in setting this up.  As I did it, I was able to simply walk it up and not have any issues of breakage.
