[ARRL-OK] FW: Portable Antenna Support

[D C Macdonald]

This was posted awhile back on the Icom reflector.
It looks to be a good idea.  I don't know how much
Wally gets for one of these but it might be a good
thing to have for Field Day or even use at home.

Hi folks,

While at my local WM store yesterday, something caught
my eye as I was going in and it looked like it could have
some real possibilities for hams.

If you take your ICOM rig to a summer place or just
want to operate on a portable basis, I found the perfect
antenna support.

It is a Deer hunters stand.  It is about 25 foot high,
folds up and snaps together, has a built in ladder
to climb to the top and a caged section at the top and
even a seat.

The rail on the caged area would be great to mount an
antenna on and presto, a portable antenna tower to use.

This of course would only be for use with Icom rigs,
results with other brands may not be successful.

Just a thought for you portable operation people.
