[Lowfer] Antenna design idea question

[Mike-WE0H]

Can you buy 48' of that 4' per section fiberglass military mast? The top 
guy ropes could be made with wire and act as a hat. I believe 12 
sections of the stronger ringed masts will be $30-40 total shipped to 
your door. It's normally used to hold up jungle nets or maybe they are 
called desert nets these days.

I recall Dex using weed trimmer line as guy's but the hat? I don't 
remember that part.
