Topband: Hi-Z vertical elements

[Herb Schoenbohm]

Use Fiberglass mast from DXE or even the military surplus interlocking 
tent poles that are available on e Bay for next for nothing.  Plus the 
vendors usually send them in a  heavy duty canvas duffel bag which is 
worth the price without the fiberglass poles.
