[Milsurplus] AB-577?

[James Duffer]

I have put one up by myself.  I use to have 14 of them, got them at Letterkenny, PA (Army Surplus).  I only have two left now.  The radio club uses them on field day.  Be sure and take care of the locking clamps that hold the tubular sections together.  If you see any extras get them.  The guys are color coded.  There is a rope furnished that allows you to locate the guy stakes at the proper spacing.  Have fun, don't know what you paid but have seen them go for as high as $800.  Mine were NIB.
