Hello All,
I am in need of a top quality mast for a tower installation. I purchased
the tower from the widow of a SK. He only had a short (approx 10 foot)
mast on the Tower, yet it has a full mast raising fixture installed. I
would like to replace this mast with a 20 foot long Chrom-Moly or similar.
Anyone out there know of a steel tubing dealer in the Detroit area, or as a
second choice Chicago area. I live 110 miles north of Detroit and would
like to keep my shipping costs down.
An additional question, how do I communicate the Ham language of a 2" O.D.,
1/4" wall Chrom-Moly mast (or whatever the next step down would be) into
the professional language that these tubing manufacturers use? I called a
local dealer and we could barely understand each other. He kept wanting to
know the application that the tubing would be used for yet he had no idea
what I was talking about when I described the application.
All advice appreciated!
Tnx es 73 de Frank W8HO
