    Moi je ferait plus de nœuds autour du boom
    surtout qu’il monte ça a 8′ au dessus de son toit!
    Le gars qui commente a tellement d’entrain…

    Pis finalement les X dans la tour sont tous croches mais dans le même sens.
    Il semble plus venté dans le sous sol car c’est dur de voir la fréquence pourtant l’affichage est grand ???
    Mais… Le patriarche est content !!!
    Depuis cette vidéo les output du radio doit etre sauté mais bon…
    Vive la Cushcraft A3!

    va2aba.

    Something that’s aways puzzled me….why aren’t tilt-over towers more widely used in the US? They make installations jobs like this so much easier.

    Nice video, beautyful setup. but the knots scare the hell out of me. I work for a communication tower installation and repair company and I would get fired for tying knots like that.

    I didn’t know that kcomm installed towers and yagis. When I buy my next house (non HOA!) I may have them put up some hardware for me.
