Topband: Satisfactory fiberglass pole for K9AY loop

I've always used an aluminium pole (actually part 
of an old 20m yagi reflector element) for my K9AY loops, works very well.

A short wooden pole driven into the ground holds 
the aluminum pole and the loops act as an excellent guying system.

Strong and totally maintenance free.
