WISP site survey poles?

Written by Start a WISP Site Admin

"I was wondering what the latest ideas might be for obtaining and using telescoping or sectional poles for site surveys? I would like to be able to temporarily mount a Rootenna or a panel antenna on a pole for signal testing in different parts of my neighborhood. Maybe a 30 or 40 foot pole. I thought maybe someone may have come up with a pvc pipe system mounted to a car or van." gammaone: I bought a 36' telescopic pole from radio shack and a tripod. Works well enough but some of my smaller techs have a real hard time getting the pole (fully extended) and a radio TR-CPE200-19 vertical by themselves. The pole was about $30 and the tripod was about $15. Quick and fairly easy as long as there isn't a wind. I saw a tripod and pole (I think it was a small crankup) bolted into a back of a truck for even easier and faster setups. nwn: Lowes carries a Channel Master 30 telescope. Includes rings for guy wires if you need them. Original thread location
