> Hello Jerry,
> My 1970 ARRL Antenna Book p.274-5 gives brief notes on 60ft
> tubular tiltover
> mast.
> The original in QST, article called "A Paul Bunyan Whip" or words to that
> effect.
> There were also later tech notes on welds and steel specification.
> Am too busy to search my old QSTs, (1960s?) but some one may be
> able to come
> up with the reference.
> Also believe another mag ?CQ cam up with a bolted version.
> There were many made and they had a fine reputation.
> My friend Terry ZL2BBO has a slightly smaller one at 50ft which has stood
> for years.
> Personally I would go this way if I had the space to tilt a mast.
