Possible Field day trailer

Post by VK3NFI »

I recently acquired this decommissioned work site light tower from the local
Hire place, It came with out any motor or generator.

With a 10m 3 stage tower this would be great for a bunch of antennas

It is common practice to use on mine sites etc lighting trailers modified for radio use. I have implemented quite a few including some rather expensive ones with hydraulic legs, solar panel arrays, mast tilting and raising.

Been looking for the same thing. I think it's a great idea.

They have a hydraulic lift version that I looked at as well but decided on the smaller of the two as I figured it was less to break down in a remote location and the trailer was some what heavier to be towing around with all the rams hanging from it.
