Guy ring and winder for portable antenna mast
Description
This is my take on a guy ring and winder for a portable antenna mast, designed for SOTA/POTA activations (Summits On The Air and Parks On The Air). The ring is designed to fit on a 20' BW6 (6m) Black Widow fishing pole. The ring sits on the top of the base section, so you can set the guys with it collapsed, then extend it with the antenna. I have it designed so that the winder is threaded on one of the guy lines, so it doesn't get lost or separated. The ring fits onto the winder, then I group the 3 guys together and wind them around the thing. It is quite effective and fast to put up. The activation in the picture was pretty windy, and I had no issue. I carry a few stakes with me, but usually just use rocks to hold the guys. Feel free to scale it to fit your mast.
