Homebrew Mini Mast Idea Well not
exactly homebrew!
It's a
mini version of the painter poles that many hams use. It worked fine
holding up a pair of MFJ 20 meter verticals that I used as
dipoles and V
beams.
 Shown above is a close up of one mast that
I took with me to KH6.
The
Extender stick came from my xyl's snow brush for her car. She tossed
it in the garbage and I retrieved it and unscrewed the brush and kept the
stick. It's 28 inches when collapsed and extends to 48 inches.
Nice fit for a balcony as I had on the Maui, N7I Special Event in October, 2010 for US
Islands program.
 Above
is a representative picture of it before "modification". It "was" a #
2610XB made by Hopkins Mfg. Corp., Emporia,
KS
