Mike,

This is the one  I am thinking about.    I would probably  scrap the top 
section and put the rotor on the next one  which is 1.5 inches. 
Bottom section is 2.25 od, then 2 inches , then 1.75, 1.5, and the 1.25 
at the top.

  This one is cut down to ship UPS and about 8 feet overall length. 
I've seen it cheaper, but with shipping it comes out the same as DXE.

Total wweight is 34 lbs., so things get heavy as you push up the lower 
sections:  Weight of mast, rotor, antenna,  control cable and coax, 
guys, etc.   Eat your Wheaties (or Wheata Bix, or whatever you have up 
there).

73, Steve KW3A
