Thank you all for the many off-list and on 
list replies. It seems like one of the 
most affordable methods is to use the 
fiberglass insertable poles sold on ebay 
so I just ordered two dozen of them in the 
event I someday go to a 4 element array.
I didn't know these were available or I 
would have used them instead of the PVC I 
tried last fall. At least the PVC did hold 
up for the "season".
Cheers,
Gary
