I am about to re-install our antennas, this after they came down during high winds in August. I used a generic, two 18 foot strap set-up and too long of a mast. I put the blame for it's failure squarely on myself. After toying around with the idea of erecting a tower for the past month, I can see that it ain't gonna happen and I'm back to the chimney mount, which will include a Antennas Direct DB8e, Antenna Craft Y10713, and a rotor.
From browsing this forum, I have been swayed towards two Ronard Products, the
Ronard Model RON3324, and
Ronard Model RON4424. However, they are very difficult to find. The 4424, which looks like a very heavy duty unit, is priced at about $180 at Solid Sound but is sold. The only other place that I see it is at
DX Engineering, but the price is $75 more.
Questions - Does anyone know of another source for the Ronard units?
Any suggestions for a good sturdy chimney mount from another company?
Might using two generic two strap units, for a total of four straps, work as well as a Ronard?
I just want to get these mounted and not worry each time the wind blows.
