I have one of these on the back of the Jitney .. it's an awesome rover
mast, makes for very quick setup/takedown and it's made of a very
high-strength but light aluminum alloy. I got mine for $50 direct from
the gov at Dugway Proving Grounds surplus outlet in UT back in the
80's. My understanding is they were originally used for a portable
lighting system, the original configuration has 4 legs that swing down
and are braced with diagonal poles up to the top. Used it for years
for FD, etc .. but once I started playing V/U/uW it was obvious it
would make a great rover mast.
