On the Elecraft mailling list, there has been a lot of discussion about fiberglass poles for antenna supports. Here are some of the suggested products and sources:
- The DK9SQ telescoping 33 ft mast is available from Kanga US. It’s $99, plus $7 shipping.
- SpiderBeam sells a 40-ft. pool. Although SpiderBeam is a European company, Wireman sells them here in the U.S. for $99, plus shipping.
- Possibly the best deal is the Jackite 31-ft. pole. From the product description on 5Stores.com, it looks as though they are meant to be used as supports for bird kites. The 31-ft. pole costs $42.95, a 28-ft. pole is $34.95.
