Default Antenna mounting

Hi all

OK I have moved and am looking to get my collinear antenna mounted onto the TV antenna mast. Needs an extension ladder which I dont have access to.

Can anyone recommend someone to come and do the job, and also will need the LMR400 cable joined, hopefully the cable that I have is long enough. Obviously I will pay for it, not looking for a freebie.

This should greatly help the auto MLAT situation in Sydney as I have moved south.

Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Steve

Good luck with the antenna! I look forward to seeing you up and running. Let me know if you find someone to assist with the installation as I am also looking at an "antenna upgrade" in the coming months.

Cheers
Mark

Mark, I will hold the ladder steady this time and you can go up top.

I found my local "Jim's Antennas" guy to be more than happy to assist me in putting up some UHF antennas, he had all the gear to terminate the coax etc and wasn't too pricey, might be worth a try.

Thanks for that David, thought had crossed my mind earlier. Will give them a call.
