I’m posting this to both the TT and NCCC reflectors for John, AI6LY, whom I 
helped get a tower permit.  He lives in Scotts Valley, CA (near Santa Cruz) and 
needs some advice on a mast.  He asks:

“Andy, please do forward to the reflector. Here's what I need:

16 to 20 feet
2" OD x 0.25 wall
yield strength > 50ksi
galvanized preferred
will pick up within a few hours' drive

I'm going to upgrade the antenna (putting a 2 el 40M above the EX-14). Need a 
high strength mast, 2" OD x .25 wall. Wondered where you got yours or if you 
had suggestions (other than DX Engineering etc.)”

Please reply directly to John.

Thanks and 73, Andy AE6Y
