4' fiberglass military mast

[Mudfoot]

I decided to use one section as a mast for my 2 meter beam project. I ordered a set of 4, just to use one. 4 were $31.95 delivered.

I was thinking of getting more and make a tower. If any of you have used these fiberglass sections, how high did you go? They make a base and guy rings also. They are pretty stout. If I could get 35-40 feet, that'd be awesome.

I use the aluminum ones. I have my solarcon I-Max 2000 on 9 of them but only 3 are above the last support on the house. So far no problems, I think I could add one more but haven’t.

I bought a bunch of the aluminum sections at a surplus store nearby. That was a long time ago and the store went out of business. My intentions were to TIG them together. That never happened and I ended up giving them away.

They are still available on Ebay.

I know this much...raising an OE254 on full kit of mast sections is like trying to balance a baseball on the end of a cooked strand of spaghetti.
