[ForSale-Swap] FS: Telescopic Aluminum Pneumatic Mast

[Robin Midgett]

Greetings,
There is a heavy duty aluminum pneumatic mast available for sale in 
Nashville, TN. It was designed and built to mil spec for the Air 
Force as a support for an array of lights, which were used for 
servicing aircraft at night. I had one of these masts before, and 
used it with good success in a rover contest rig. This particular 
mast is owned by a friend who is not an amateur radio op. He asked me 
to make it available to the ham radio market.
Generally, the mast is 7'-10" tall when nested, and it extends to 
more than 27' when elevated. The base section measures 5-1/4" in 
diameter. There are five sections total, all of which are double 
keyed, allowing the entire mast to be rotated via the base section. 
The weight of the mast is ~110 lbs. There are two 1/4" FNPT ports in 
the base for air in/outlet. 15-20 PSI will extend the mast easily. It 
uses commonly available O-ring seals. Pictures are available. The 
asking price is $800; reasonably close offers will be considered; 
please reply to me directly. Freight or delivery can be arranged.

Thanks,
