Figure 46 – Common monopole during installation of antennas. Five different operators are sharing this site.The five operators sharing the leased monopole above all use coaxial cables to connect to theirantennas, <strong>and</strong> all use similar triangular mounting plat<strong>for</strong>ms except <strong>for</strong> the second from the top. It usesstruts such as those shone in Figure 47, below. Ropes <strong>for</strong> hoisting the antennas are still visible in thisphoto taken during installation in 2010.4.2.2 TYPICAL MAST DEPLOYMENTOne can see in the photograph in Figure 46 above, that the second plat<strong>for</strong>m from the top is not a full“pinwheel” but a cantilevered strut assembly called a “pinwheel” <strong>and</strong> detailed below in Figure 47.
