[Elecraft] 60 foot fiberglass pole

[Ken Alexander]

Awesome!  At a hundred and sixty something Euros it's
not that much more than what you'd pay for other
smaller masts.  My experience with my former MFJ mast,
which snapped early in its short life, was that the
top one or two sections weren't that useful for
supporting a wire.  But with a 60 ft mast you wouldn't
care if you couldn't use a section or two!

Does anyone here own one of these yet?
