[K3PZN-List] poles for the antenna

[Philip Karras]

I was going to send a question to the Carroll County Club reflector to see if the guy who sells them has any we can get.

You should join the club or at least the reflector.

PS. I've sent this to the reflector, I hope he answers to both of us. Need a price for the poles we'll need ~ 13 poles I believe since they are ~ 4 foot poles.

Phil,

Very good and I'll try to find something like that or something that will meet the requirements of being durable.

Thanks,

If I could use CPVC and if 3/4 inch would do the job I could easily get my hands on that. I'm also thinking that I could get caps as well and feed the eye hooks into that. What do you think?
