As long as you don't use the top 2 sections it works fine. I broke the top 2 trying to hold up a 24 gage, 80 meter dipole. Also don't tilt it up. Secure the base and push it up one one section at a time. I secure the base in motorhome fixed operation with one of those RV flagpole mounts you put under a tire.

Reading the full story and watching the Council proceedings on the city website,  it seems this Ham moved into a subdivision with underground utilities and small lots. got an in-complete permit to put up a "vertical" antenna and then put up a huge tower with a full wave 40M beam, WITHOUT ASKING HIS NEIGHBORS FIRST. And now he is surprised they don't want this monster in their back yards.

Instead of feeling sorry for him I would use him as an example of what happens if you arrogantly assume, just because you have a Ham radio license, you now have more rights than your neighbors.

Just my opinion.
