Metal Roof? No Problem (#1342)

Jason wants to build a new pole building with his ham shack on the second story. He wants to put his antennas above the metal roof of his building but isn’t sure what the side effects would be. Will the roof cause the antennas to not work?

Tower Winch Foundations & Lightweight Mast Build Prep – Step by Step

Post author By admin
Post date September 26, 2025

Tower Winch Foundations & Lightweight Mast Build Prep - Step by Step

Today’s job: holes, concrete, steel, and planning for two towers!

I unpack a new 12V winch, sort out the scaffold-pole mount at 45°, and dig in proper foundations with concrete and a dead-man anchor. This winch will let me safely lower the big tower and salvage one of the alloy poles.

At the same time, I’m sketching out a second, lightweight tower project — two poles, simple guying, base rotator, and even a budget bearing solution using UHMW washers and split bearings. The aim is to show how you can build a low-cost demonstrator mast that anyone could replicate.

Along the way:

Unboxing and testing the winch (Kevlar rope + remote)

Digging, cutting, concreting, and anchoring

The “dead-man” anchor trick explained

Planning the mini-tower with simple bearings and rotator setup

Updates on the ACOM 2020S amplifier and station progress

This is a proper “hands-on” day in the field — concrete dust, angle-iron, scaffold poles, and all!

👉 Have you ever pushed up your own mini-mast on three guys? Drop your stories in the comments — I’d love to hear how you tackled it.

Enjoy your radio, see you next time. 73,
Callum, M0XXT
