Ed and Tom,

RS discontinued them maybe 6 years ago.   They were made by Rohn and were 
nice galvanized masts.   They can still be had from Rohn suppliers, but must 
be truck shipped at great expense.

Channel Master still produces some.   They are painted and not galvanized, 
but are less expensive.  Lowe's may still carry them.  They did fairly 
recently.  Either True Value, or ACE, or both were carrying Channel Master 
stuff as a result of the over the air TV boom following the digital TV 
thingy.

73, Steve KW3A
