5. Radio masts and towers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_masts_and_towers

   A radio mast base showing how virtually all lateral support is provided by the guy-wires. The terms "mast" and "tower" are often used interchangeably. However, in structural engineering terms, a tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guy-wires. [1] A mast

6. Gin pole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_pole

   A gin pole is a mast supported by one or more guy-wires that uses a pulley or block and tackle mounted on its upper end to lift loads. The lower end is braced or set in a shallow hole and positioned so the upper end lies above the object to be lifted. The pole (also known as a mast, boom, or spar) is secured with three

7. Mast radiator - Wikipedia

   An ideal monopole antenna radiates maximum power in horizontal directions at a height of 225 electrical degrees, about ⁠ 5 / 8 ⁠ or 0.625 of a wavelength (this is an approximation valid for a typical finite thickness mast; for an infinitely thin mast the maximum occurs at / = 0.637 [6]) As shown in the diagram, at heights below a half ...

   The guy wires were also used to hold the tower itself in place. [4] This mast was the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere. [ 5 ] Construction of this station was originally planned to be built in New Zealand but after protests from anti-war protestors it was built in Australia, [ 6 ] although not without controversy.
