Two days ago on Easter Sunday I decided to see who was on the CB on channel 38 LSB. About 30 seconds after I turned on the radio - Motormouth Maul “The Voice of the Central Coast of California” pegged my meter. He came in real loud and clear.

DOM Tubing (Drawn Over Mandrel)
I just checked the metalsdepot.com site to see the pricing of DOM tubing and you are right, it is expensive. Significantly more expensive than what I paid for mine a couple of years ago.

Use Structural Steel
I used structural tubing to make my mast. Tubing is different from pipe or conduit. Tubing is the stuff used to make the cages in race cars. It's much stronger and it comes in 21' lengths. I have an I-10K on top of 2 sections welded together with the joint reinforced...
