I get the impression that it is their own product because it is ordered
from Worldradio. I don't really know anything about it. I might try the
Worldradio mast instead of a painting pole. The price certainly is good.
There was a telescoping mast in some of the QRP internet sites but it
was based on a telescoping fishing pole. This would be OK as a vertical
but not strong enough to support an inverted V, which is what I want to
use for portable operation with my TT Scout. I think that the Worldradio
mast is something else entirely, but I don't know what, exactly!
