The 2E0HTS Mobile Antenna Mounting Stand
Today I picked up a drive on antenna mounting stand.
Fabricated by My good friend Simon 2E0HTS.
After Parting with a well spent £20:00 in my honest opinion
Here is a picture of it as fresh as the hour I picked it up.
The Antenna Stand Pre-Primer
The Stand after the first coat of primer
It is important to Prime bare metal before you paint it.
I gave it a light brushing with sandpaper to "key" the primer.
I also primed the underside , as well as a bit of the fence "SIGH"
well it was a bit windy thats my excuse and I am sticking to it .
And A coat of Plasti-coat paint.
I will use more of this to protect it from the elements
and of a high enough visibility not to be walked into !!
It is small enough to fit in the boot. and will be used as
soon as I can get a mast to fit over the pole
73 for now
thank you for reading
