Yes. We have some equipment up on and old "Chicago" windmill; several bits actually. Ours is only 45' tall or so, and I can't seem to find any pictures of us putting the equipment up on it (but I'll keep looking). At the top we have a 180� 900 AP, then a UBNT PTP (2' dish), then a 5.7 GHz C

There's also an andrew pole clamp that's basically a pipe-to-pipe clamp where one side is sized for a "pipe" 12" in diameter. Those happily clamp on a wooden pole. "expensive" is relative. You can always spend more. Andrew makes a wood pole clamp that is like pipe-to-pipe clamps welded to t

Your local electrical wholesaler will have unistrut Ts with slightly rounded metal plates that you can lag in and mount a pipe to. That's what they use to run their 3" conduit up the pole. I've used them before and they worked amazing. On Sat, Apr 11, 2015 at 2:54 PM, Jaime Solorza wrote: > Si
