Neighbor im very impressed. Im 68 and retired from trucking 50yrs and I got started as my 3rd hobby tinkering with base stations and all sorts of high power amps an radios. I've used all types of antennas such as solarcon, icom, imax and really good one some what like yours. Custom made by one of the big antenna, amp builders because I have a Dave Made outfit that runs 2800 to 3500 watts, a 2x4 amp, a 4pill galaxy 98vhp 750 watts so I had a good antenna made and with guy wires and a storm from the abyss came through in 10 minutes it blew it down but praise GOD its in one piece, well it consists of 28 pieces. Worked great untill storm. I finally took it down and apart but have no help to re run it. Your boat type rig is what I should have done in 1st place because im too handicapped to put it back on my chimney. You did great job.
