On Saturday I finally got my Gain Master and an 80 meter dipole antenna installed on top of a Rohn 9H50 mast. It is not a permanent installation, I intend on mounting them on the center of my roof as soon as my foot heals from surgery. When I move it to the peak, I will also add a 40 and 20 meter dipoles. I will also move the dipole feed point down away from the GM. Here are some photo's:

There was a little wind but not enough to detour me from getting it up! LOL of course you see who is on the roof! LOL my son. It was about 40* and as you can see a beautiful day! Looks like spring is coming.

My son Dustin really helped, thanks buddy! The first picture I took of him, he was giving my the one finger solute. And by the way, there are actually 2 supports, supporting the mast against the peak of my roof, looks like there is only one, but there is two.

I've run the GM for 2 days now and have had great reports. I live in Post Falls Idaho and talked to one guy over 40 miles away on the other side of Fairchild AF base. Most I have talked to can't believe I am getting out the way I am. I do live on a little rise in elevation towards Spokane WA. The Coeur d'Alene, Hayden and Rathdrum areas the GM is incredibly strong!

Yes, I am a happy with the GM! Can't wait to get it to the peak of my roof, another 20 or so in the air!
