about 30 years ago I bought my first cb a stock Uniden Washington and the PDL-2 antenna,I bought an antenna switch 2x100' RG-8 coax. I put this up in my dads back yard on 32' of metal fence post a legnth of 2" and 1 1/2" . I slid one inside the other and I had 2 ea 8' legnths of angle Iron in the ground and bolted the pole in between.the rotor was also a chanel master and I had it up 5 years and moved to my house and had it up for 2 more. the moral of the story. I was on a tight budget and bought what I could. I could buy the new yaesu rotor now but my setup is easy to drop and its cold out. Always buy the best you can with the money you have.
also do you have a plan to raise the 30 ft tower with a mast rotor and 2 antennas on top and will you be able to lower it when you have to for tune and adjust. fold over and crank up towers are also nice' something to think about..
