Join Frank KG5HJ as he dives into the innovative Sky Hook system from Ham Stop – metal brackets originally designed for military masts that transform your ham radio setup into a portable powerhouse. In this hands-on review, Frank unboxes the Sky Hooks (versions 2, 3, and the new 4 with adjustable slots), shows how to mount hamsticks for multi-band operation, and demos the game-changing tripod adapter for non-intrusive park activations. No more ropes in trees or ground stakes – just quick, rule-friendly setups perfect for POTA (Parks on the Air) or field days!Watch as Frank clamps it to fiberglass masts, copper pipes, and even adds a 2m/440 J-Pole. He shares real-world tips, upcoming builds, and why this versatile topper is a must-have for everyday hams.
