Hi all
I've been using a mast made out of a piece of aluminum for about 10
years here. It has a three element 20 meter mono-bander and 2 el 15
meter mono-bander on it now. I've had everything from quads to
tri-banders to present setup on it. Check Coos Bay for winds and you
will see they are quite high, and never had a problem yet. 73
