[TowerTalk] 6061 T-6 as mast material

["K3GM" <k3gm_qrp@verizon.net>]

I use a 15' length of 6061 T-6 schedule 80 tubing (heavy wall!) for my mast. 
There's a 3L SteppIR about 2 feet above the bearing, a 2m K1FO weak signal 
yagi, and a VHF/UHF vertical on the top.  It's been in place for nearly 5 
years; wind and ice loaded and it's fine.  And when your sole ground crew is 
your XYL, it made the difference when it came time to lift into place.
