<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Believe it or not Vin, the new vertical M2-9 (which
Bill KC1WJ was nice enough to give me!) is mounted on a 5' piece of fiberglass
that came off the bottom section of a broken tree pruner/saw thingy! ( I used
fiberglass so as not to de-tune the 6 Meter too much.) The main steel mast
is heavy-duty TV masting which you cant find anymore. Bottom section below the
rotor is about 4' and the top section with all the gear on it is 12'. I got them
at a garage sale a few years back. Set me back a whole dollar! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well there it is...not very high but the best I
could do for now. I may just take it down and wait till the spring, because
I am seriously overloading things as it is. I was able to get the 440
vertical and the 6 meter beam up about a foot or so higher, so thats
good.</FONT></DIV>
