LF: Re: Antenna mast

Dangerous operation trying to raise 3 x 20 ft scaffold poles, 2 just about manageable. Try 40 ft using aliminum poles and a 33 ft fibre glass fishing pole, 73 ft high and more manageable and safer.

I have a Clark 27 telescopic mast and that with a 33 ft telescopic fishing pole makes a handy and safe antenna mast.

I might have a spare one

I understand your surprise at 60ft with scaffold poles! In fact Mark1 was a disaster with single poles and joints ? all bendy in the middle and no chance of getting it vertical ? if you see what I mean!!

 

Mark2 is a different design combination steel and alloy. I?ll let you know if it works and post some photos. At the moment all is going to plan apart from the Welsh weather.
