Subject: Portable mast


Some time ago someone suggested a source for a fiberglass mast which
would work for portable use.  I would appreciate the info again or other
ideas for supporting antennas while in the mountains.  I can build a e z
sling or whatever the gadget is called that lets you shoot a leader line
to a tree branch as the commercial ones cost over $100 but I am not sure
I want to use a tree for my main support for an antenna.  Some locations
I am considering do not have trees close for this purpose. =20
