I use an old mic stand.. I could do 3 spools at a time till I lost the set screw for the top.;'(. Still works pretty good for 2 spools of RG-6 or just one RG-11. Seen a few techs weld or attach a cross bar to their ladder racks, they could fit 4 or 5 spools easy.. Works great if you can park where ya need to work.. I prefer my mic stand.. Compact, and retractable, fairly durable, and can take it where I need it..
