    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.

    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.

    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.

    @dorslv The reason was that I was part of the “hoisting” crew & didn’t have anyone else to run the camera, so therefore had to settle for the before & after shots..Thanks for your comment..73s, Mel

    Hi there

    Congratulations good jobe.
    It’s a great antena

    Well in the video I observe the rotor, and seems a create rotor? Or is a hi gain? Because I have a Create RC5 rotor but I lost my control station was stolen from my house.
    I have been trying to find this in everywhere but live in México and it had been so difficult, my call sign is XE1HHM and my name is Miguel, I appreciate so much if you can help me to know how I can get it.
