[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] FW: Military fiberglass Poles

[don.ki4d at gmail.com]

This note is for those who may be interested in purchasing fiberglass military poles for antenna masts. I was approached during Field Day with a question about where to find these poles.  If we do a group order, it sounds as if John is willing to deliver them to the club from the Arundel, MD area.  Please send me a note if interested.

The prices are as follows:

 

Full Bags ($60): 24 fiberglass poles in an original military heavy vinyl bag.

Half Bags($35): 12 fiberglass poles in an origianl military heavy vinyl bag.

Individual Poles ($3/each): 1 fiberglass pole, no bag.

Bulk Poles (negotiable): Large quantity (500+)

3 Arm Spreaders ($1): Initiailly used at the top of the mast to prevent poles from tearing through camo netting, Can be used to make guy wire guides / rings.

Mast Base ($15): Limited number of 12" (approx) round base to help stablilize post.

 

Depending on the quantity I could probably bring them down to the club.

 

Let me know.

John -   I'm with the Alexandria radio club in Alexandria. And we're in the process of building some antennas.  If you will send me a price list for the poles. I will send it out to the club because they might be interested, thank you.

Yes there are plenty left. How many do you need?

 

If we can get a few orders I can certainly make a run to get them.
