UST MA40 WJ1X

US Tower MA-40 installation.

[@Bxcowboy]

Without a doubt, one of the most useful YT videos about the MA-40. Short, and exactly what I needed to see. Let me also say that Mike was a prince! When I asked to pick his brain for info he called me and let me benefit from his experience. Even gave me a lead to a local P.E. Thanks bunches Mike. 73 de Warren, W1WRM!

Count three cranks; two in the foreground, one behind the camera. Haha! Good work guys!

[@JA-fy1bn]

I need 3 of those. Nice!

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

I'm considering the MA40 unit as well. Very helpful

[@mikeynags]

I'm very happy with it so far. It will be 3 years this spring.

[@TheMultisportGeek]

What I would do is teach my wife or daughters to run out there to crank that thing up. They’re food motivated so the training should be fairly quick.

[@Gruuvin1]

Especially if you withhold the food for a couple days before you need some work done.

[@GhostCenturion]

Wow that is nice!

[@n1ksf]

[@mikeynags]

Give Ham Radio Outlet a call. That's where I purchased mine. I know the costs have gone up but they should have the latest on pricing

[@trazosdetuberiaconcalculad7249]

Good jobs

[@bensharp575]

Just curious how deep the base hole was? Be a BIG helo.

[@mikeynags]

3 feet by 3 feet by 5 feet deep.

[@narquattslagg9708]

It looks like you have the MARB-40 rotator base and the MAF-40 raising fixture. Do you have to remove the MAF-40 in order to rotate the mast? it looks like the mast winch could hit the MAF-40.

[@mikeynags]

Yes - I removed mine. I have seen where people remove only the top bolt and "lean" the MAF-40 back and out of the way of the raising winch. It was easy enough to remove and I think looks better with it put away.

[@jeremyd5298]

Is the MARB base moving from the weight when you crank up the Ma 40?

[@mikeynags]

no, it is rock solid attached to the cement foundation

[@Max-kn9yi]

What's this thing going to hold, wind turbine?

[@gordonblank6845]

HF antennas I would think.

[@pinkwontons]

Gun shots at 0:24

[@mikeynags]

there is an outdoor shooting range in the area

[@davep6977]

You don't have it up and transmitting and the neighbors are all ready shooting at you :)

[@DynoDieselWagon]

Impact driver on nut . Alot faster

[@joeearley3351]

Gee my god is that pipe that heavy to swing up and bolt in place come on man.

[@mikeynags]

[@joeearley3351]

@@mikeynags wow hope you had help. Nice should last a long time.
