Hello all:
For anyone thinking about temporary operation from a rare grid
during a VHF contest, Sprint, or Field Day, I have an M2 Fast Mast Portable
Mast kit for sale. Mast is 22+ feet tall when used with HD-73 or similar rotor
at base. It can be turned with rotor at base or at top, or erected in
fixed position. Actual mast above base section (or rotor at base) consists of
4 60" telescoping sections of alum tubing. Top section is 2" OD. M2
rates max vertical load at 80 lbs; max wind load is 10 sq feet at 50 mph.
Purchased it with great intentions but never used it. The mast is great for
portable use. Comes with custom made rotation/guy bearing which is much better
than original, dacron guys, hinged aluminum base plate etc. Original
price was over $180 at AES. Will sell for $125 including UPS ground to
continental US. 73 Chris W3CMP
