Back in the 60's I built a 20-15-10-6 meter 2 element quad using cane fishing
poles I got from a local fish and bait place....and my boom was a 2inch
aluminum pipe.
I had it up about 45 feet and it was still in good shape when I moved away from
that city 5 years later. I gave it to another ham to take down and move to his
QTH...and he was using it at least 5 years after that when I worked him one day
on 15...then we also wkd on 20....
Now have to admit it didn't snow in Laurel Mississippi anytime during those ten
years!
