5R8SV erects a K4KIO hexbeam using a heavy duty Spiderbeam aluminum 10 meter telescoping mast, a Yaesu gs-065 thrust bearing, and a Yaesu G450 rotor. Fabrication of a wood and metal support is described. The video shows how to put these elements together and guy the antenna, including wiring of the rotor and rotor controller. The video also provides answers to two installation questions: 1) how to fix the rotor controller and cable if the provided molex connectors do not match; 2) how to convert the controller from 110V operation to 220-230V operation by rewiring the transformer.
