Bob,

I think you can get those from Texas Towers, among other places.

>>
>> It has been suggested to me by several people that I buy a 30-foot

>> DXCC about 10 feet underneeth it.  The antennas can be arranged at right
>> angles to each other, so I would think coupling would be minimal.
>>
>> Anyway, I have been calling around here locally to see if anyone has a
>> 30-foot Channelmaster telescopic mast, but have come up dry so far.
>>
>> Does anyone know where I might find one?
>>
>> I'll resort to ordering "on line" if needed.
