well - a few things that have come out now and are "known" This station billed itself as "101.5 WJLX". No mention of the AM . It's assumed no one has listened to the AM for years. Videos and posts have circulated online that the AM broadcast site hadn't been active for years. This thread has

The Commscope DB365W is an effective mount. If the wood pole was originally for electric usage, it may already be drilled for cross arm and braces and this goes into those nicely! On 2/20/24 11:19 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote:

I've been wracking my brain on that description. If there's band clamp it usually goes the other way, with a band clamp around the pole and they give you either a stud or a threaded hole to mount your equipment on. I wonder if they took a banding mount and just installed it backwards.

+1 to both of those suggestions. * I've seen plenty of universal mounts attached to a wooden pole (J-arms, J-pipes, or whatever you want to call them). * Rohn WM4 is the name brand galvanized 4" wall mount, but there are a thousand copies out there. Just watch out for zinc plating or

I need to mount a small steel pole to a wood light pole. The kits I see online are like $300 range and way more robust than I need. Just mounting a small yagi a few feet above the top of the wood pole. Does anyone know of anything? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com
