[Elecraft] Fiberglass Poles

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

I just took down a 5 band quad I built from fiberglass tubes from MGS. They
are still in excellent shape and I'd recommend them. The only problem might
be shipping. I was lucky enough to have someone pick them up when MGS used
to do Dayton.

Make sure you follow the treatment instructions for fiberglass. Pick a good
UV coating to seal and protect them, else they will start to break down in a
year or two. I've been happy with Krylon UV Clear...

Happy Building!
