        Here's a great article (including photos) by Jon DU9/N0NM:

It describes his experiences in putting up his 42 foot tower made
of bamboo!  Since many of you have worked him on Topband, you 
might like to see how he supported his Inverted-L for 160!  I
remember being amazed at seeing bamboo scaffolding on my first
visit to Hong Kong...on 50+ story skyscrapers!  It's amazing how 
a little ingenuity and desire allow some guys to get on 160 when
others think it's impossible.  Paul ET3PMW, Rudi DK7PE, Charles S92SS 
and Dick N6FF come to mind.  Too bad more expeditions don't have 
folks like these to show them how to make things happen on Topband!
