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>
