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
Scan Police, Fire, Rescue,
Ham Radio, Aircraft, Ships, and much more!
