Weight is an issue if you want...Dobre vecer Pedja,<br /><br />Weight is an issue if you want the center up high. The hole in this center piece makes it slide down to approx. the end of the top segment of the Spiderbeam pole. It bends a bit but nothing to dramatically (unless you have strong winds of course). It is not completely vertical - so maybe if I put it down 20cm lower I will only lose 10cm, because the pole will be less bent. But I think the net result will be that the center will be lower - even if it looks better. <br />You have to guide the coax along the pole btw.<br /><br />If you think about a balun you might consider attaching it a bit lower after some coax length. W2DU style chokes are not too heavy and might be an option to use from where you fix the center (2m below the top). I use them a lot.<br /><br />I have used the 12m HD version of Spiderbeam for a 40m inverted v and it worked nicely. For 80m I use the 18m pole by Spiderbeam. It is also the HD version and in many ways resembles the 12m pole. I also slide the center to the bottom part of the first element. I used a Spieth mast before that and it was less thick. The top 2 segments were unusable for an inverted v. The HD masts from Spiderbeam are much better.<br /><br />I hope this helps you somehow. Good luck with the experiments.<br /><br />73,<br />Lars / PH0NOPH0NOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564791035054752878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644884054576160317.post-67424385787993284022017-11-21T21:48:18.461+01:002017-11-21T21:48:18.461+01:00How pole handles weight of center piece and whole ...How pole handles weight of center piece and whole antenna? I have Spider Beam fiberglass pole 12m high, and I do not attach 80m inverted V to the top, but maybe two meters lower, as top bends a lot. I use center piece that seems lighter than yours.<br /><br />I am considering adding BALUN and main concern I have is weight.Pedja YT9TPhttps://pedja.supurovic.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644884054576160317.post-3507327083432808632017-05-22T01:09:46.014+02:002017-05-22T01:09:46.014+02:00Bedankt Hans.
