[Elecraft] telescoping poles

[Peter PA0PJE]

Looking for a good mast, Jerry?

Look here too:

I have one for over 10 years now, holding up a 2x10 meter dipole fed with 
400 ohm twinlead. Works great, even on 6 meters...
Collapsed, it is a mere 1.15 meters long and weighs 1 kg, at full length 
is's 10 meters. Don't let the black color fool you, it's not made of carbon 
fibre as I recently saw one questioning himself on the list, so a quarter 
wave vertical for 40 is very well possible.

73,
Peter - PA0PJE
