A universal antenna mounting system includes a grid-like mounting frame on which the antenna is installed. A mounting pipe is secured to a tower leg at a desired height and the mounting frame is then secured to the mounting pipe. The mounting connections are all frictional in nature and the mounting frame is adjustable in azimuth about the mounting pipe so that the antenna can be pointed in the right direction. Side struts secured to the mounting frame and the tower maintain the mounting frame at the desired azimuth.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A system for mounting an antenna on a tower, the tower having a plurality of substantially vertical leg members interconnected by a plurality of horizontal members and angled bracing members, the system comprising:first and second bracket members adapted to be mounted to one of said tower leg members at vertically spaced locations thereon;a mounting pipe secured to said first and second bracket members so as to extend substantially vertically;a mounting frame including an upper horizontal member, a lower horizontal member substantially parallel to said upper horizontal member, and a plurality of connecting members secured to both said upper and lower horizontal members, wherein at least one of the connecting members is adapted to have the antenna secured thereto, and wherein the mounting frame is substantially laterally balanced about a balance line joining mounting points on said upper and lower horizontal members;an upper bracket member secured to said upper horizontal member of said mounting frame at a mounting point on said upper horizontal member and to said mounting pipe;a lower bracket member secured to said lower horizontal member of said mounting frame at a mounting point on said lower horizontal member and to said mounting pipe;a pair of side struts each secured at one end to a respective connecting member of said mounting frame and each adapted to be secured at a point remote from said one end to a respective member of said tower, wherein said pair of side struts are secured to connecting members on opposite sides of the balance line of the mounting frame;a pair of horizontal brace members each secured at one end to said lower horizontal member and adapted to extend substantially orthogonally thereto toward the tower, said pair of horizontal brace members being on the same side of said balance line;a pair of angled brace members each secured at one end to the distal end of a respective one of said pair of horizontal brace members and at the other end to a respective connecting member at a location on said respective connecting member below said lower horizontal member; anda generally planar platform resting on and secured to said pair of horizontal brace members.
