Thanks for the tip. I have those. I now have plans to paint them just to keep the sun off them. Wait..it looks like they are already painted camo.

I suppose it depends on where you are, but in Arizona, those things don't last in the sun.  You are soon left with a column of glass fibers that best be handled with gloves as you put them in the trash can. Insidious stuff.

Look around for the fiberglass stackable army surplus mast sections either at a local flea market or online.  Think they come in 4-foot sections. That’s what I’ve been using to support my K9AY loop for years.
