There is a lattice tower made of carbon fiber. You can raise at least 300 ft of it in one piece, due to the high strength to weight ratio. I think it was discussed on the towertalk reflector, check t

3 years back, I worked on marine electronics aboard the Derek Baylis, a special, twin masted 65 ft Sailing Research Vessel. Ketch rigged, unusual for its carbon fiber masts which needed no stays, shr

Google Carbon Fiber Tubing, and you will get a lot of vendors who can probably deliver carbon fiber tubing from stock. However, thinking it through, I bet you open whole new tricky materials/design p

Who needs drilling and fittings? Buy some carbon fiber fabric, some epoxy, and really good gloves. Sand the boom a little. Make a jig to hold your aluminum element center section at a right angle to

Carbon fiber composit is quite easy to work with. In general you treat it like working with fiberglass composits except it's dirtier<:-)) (a LOT dirtier). Typical construction depends on both indivi

But if you ever want to disassemble it, that's one expensive joint to cut apart. Also, just wrapping it up doesn't give the best strength and with large antennas this is important if you want maximu

If people are going to speculate on applications why not consider replacing the Chrome-moly masts that weigh an incredible amount with a mast made from carbon-fiber composite. One would not need to w
