[Elecraft] OT: DX Engineering fiberglass pole

[Gary Gregory]

Ken,

i use a push up mast from Spiderbeam from Germany for exactly the
application you have and it works a treat. They are not cheap though.

There are two sizes and mine is the longer one of the two. It is now
several years old, has been exposed to the elements for a many weeks at a
time and has not failed.

Being that it is tapered, I don't use the two uppermost sections and I
removed them by sliding them out the bottom. I also support the centre of a
DE Zepp.

Mine is NOT for sale...:-)

73
