[SixClub] Antennas

[Mark W]

It was a cheaper version. Got it from a local electronics place. Not sure
what I'm going to replace it with. I didn't have a tower in my budget plans.
I could get away with a TV tower since it is just the 2 VHF antennas on that
mast. My HF antenna is a 135' Doublet way up in a tree. I'm sure an
expensive tower project wont fly with the XYL right now.

A nuisance but much less so than it could have been!

Was it a Rohn push-up/telescoping mast or something else?
