[Antennas] TACTICAL PORTABLE MASTS?

Sat Mar 25 13:57:54 EST 2006

Jay,
Fair Radio Sales offers some unused surplus military radio mast kits that
are perfect for rapid field erection. The mast kit I bought is 40 feet
high when erected, and comprises ten 48" sections. The kit came with eight
guying ropes, a baseplate, four stakes, and even a hammer to pound the
stakes into the ground. I've used this on Field Day with great success. I
believe that the company also sells individual components for such mast
kits. Go here:
