Hi,

Can anyone give me the source for ten foot fiberglass poles?

I want to use 4 of them for the spreader for the 40 meter Moxon rectangle 
we used for field day.  We used a 2 inch diameter, 20 ft long poly pipe and 
it was too heavy.  It worked pretty well even though it was only up 
25'.  It was resonant at 7030, with a SWR of 1.2:1, fed with RG58 to the 
ground then RG8 to the rig.  It was designed for 7200, so it needs a bit of 
trimming.  It had 1 to 2 S units of gain over a vertical, depending on the 
direction.
