1. An antenna mounting platform for mounting at selectable positions along the length of a monopole tower comprising:

  • a frame having an interior opening for receiving the monopole;

    a plurality of brackets mounted to the frame and extending into the interior opening, the brackets being spaced about the interior opening so that when the antenna mounting platform is mounted to the monopole, the brackets are spaced about the circumference of the monopole, the brackets each comprising;

    a base;

    a pair of arms spaced from one another and extending from the base toward the monopole when the interior opening receives the monopole; and

    first and second outriggers spaced from one another and extending between and mounted to the base and the frame so that the first and second outriggers mount the base to the frame and the first outrigger of each bracket is positioned adjacent the second outrigger of an adjacent bracket; and

    a number of connecting members corresponding to the number of brackets for connecting the brackets, each connecting member connecting adjacent brackets and being operable to selectively (1) compress the associated first and second outriggers together and thereby force the arms of the brackets against the monopole and hold the mounting platform at a location on the monopole, and alternatively, (2) decompress the associated first and second outriggers and thereby release the brackets from against the monopole so that the mounting platform is movable along the length of the monopole.
