I have managed to rescue a quantity (35) of BRAND NEW AB-577 mast sections 
from potentially becoming scrap aluminum.  And, through a surplus contact, I 
have acquired a matching quantity of coupler clamps.  The mast sections are 
brand new and in individual OEM boxes.  The mast coupler clamps are also new; 
however, they have been left exposed for years and the nice chrome finish has 
worn off.  Each section with coupler is $25.00, plus shipping cost.  Each 
section/coupler package will weigh around 14 lbs.  I can ship via UPS Ground 
as single units, or packaged as quantities of 2 or 4, just by taping the 
boxes together.  Or, you can pick them up here in Raleigh (nice day-trip from 
DC area).

BTW, I do not have any of the guy rings, guy assemblies, or top adapter.

These make great Holiday gifts: 

Buy a few to raise your lowly 48 ft antenna;

Use them for bird feeder posts (and dare those pesky squirrels to climb it!);

How about several for a basketball goal support post, or flag pole;

Use them as a floor lamp post for shack lighting;

Hang one horizontally in the garage for storing spare aluminum antenna 
element pieces;

Buy them all and build separate 80 and 160 meter verticals, or a 40 Meter 
4-Square;

Ever thought of trying a 5-inch diameter Beverage or Snake antenna?;

How about a 5-inch diameter boom for that new homebrew 80 or 160 Meter yagi;

Or, a super low-loss, high power, air dielectric, coaxial transmission line, 
using some 1-2 inch diameter tubing as the center conductor? 

OK, e-mail robots are standing by for messages….
