Most of our installs are nanostation locos or Nanobeams. We try to keep as low a profile as possible, so we keep different lengths in the trucks.

I find this interesting because I never have to buy J-pipes. I guess because most of our installs use reflector dishes, and the KPP dishes come with a nice J-pipe. So every time we mount on a tripod or MTOW or a galvanized pipe, we end up with a J-pipe to use elsewhere. I guess if you are using Force dishes or NanoBeams or 450D, this would not be true, and you would need J-pipes. BTW, we use a lot of Channelmaster W brackets on walls with short pieces of galvanized pipe, rather than putting a J-pipe on someone’s vinyl siding. Also on pole buildings and trailers, or an alternative is strut and pipe clamps. So if we use a reflector, the J-pipe gets used elsewhere.

They definitely weren't made for Utah!! I'm fairly certain these will all need to be replaced within five years. Now I buy heavy duty masts by the pallet at SecurAlign. They are local so I can just pickup a pallet and not pay any shipping. They have tall ones too, but they only sell by the pallet, so I buy the tall ones at perfect-10. They are 39" Winegard masts. I just noticed, so they may be a bit long for the original request. They are heavy duty, and sold in packs of two for $22.00 https://www.perfect-10.tv/WebStore/ProductDetail.aspx?ID=6788 On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 9:55 AM, Josh Luthman <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: *shrug* looks pretty damn similar to me.

I have never used a flimsier mast in my life. I bought 50 of them last year. I have already had three service calls from them bending out of alignment in wind, and the thin powder coating is already turning to rust after only one year. Plus they all have big ugly yellow warning stickers on them.
