Before Tom went into production with this (necessary) item, he got
involved in something else and so did the the guy that was going to make the
mold, etc. It's obvious that there's still a need for this item.
I talked to JA2EZD, Hiro, on the phone a couple of weeks ago and he said
that a steel mast clamp is available in Japan; I'm trying to track it down.
I'll let you know if there really is one and I can get them imported.

The M2 Orion 2800 has THE best mast clamp in the world - BIG ductile
steel mothers.
Yes, TOWER TECH is a Create and Orion dealer. I've got prop pitches,
too.
