Searching on the forum gave me a lot of inspiration for my quest to place my antennas as high as possible, while keeping the cost reasonable. Although its was not easy to find a few examples* I came up with this design

If youre wondering why I chose this setup:
My concern is with the the strength of the ( FR24 supplied) coaxial cable especially the areas in the red circle. When the cables move, tension will be exerted on the bend and Im worried that it will damage the cable.
Any thoughts on the strength and suggestions on how to prevent damage?

If youre wondering why I chose this setup:
- Laying cables in the ground is not possible
- Moving the mast closer to the house is not possible.
- Im worried about the temperature if I place the enclosure on the pole. Indoors it gets about 34 C and keeping the box under the roof, exposed to the sun only at sunrise, will keep the temperature at a reasonable level.
- Enclose on the pole next to the fence is to inviting then one under the roof
- Fairly easy to install and low cost (~USD 100)
