[TowerTalk] Re: [Antennas] Spruce Tree Antenna

[Bill Heinzinger]

A RS type push up mast is a Radio Shack type mast.
A telescoping lightweight mast they used to sell.
Lately there have been a lot of questions and sources for buying them.
Mine is old from years ago.

Not sure you can use a Australian Pine though because you want the mast UP
in the air and not Down Under. HI
