[TowerTalk] Portable Crank-Up Mast

[n4kg@juno.com]

So,  you want a support that is:
 STRONG enough to only require ONE set of guys, 
 BIG enough to house a rotor,
 LIGHT enough to be easily carried, 
 TELESCOPES,
 and is CHEAP.

You MAY be able to find a suitable solution to the first four 
requirements (a telescoping Aluminim Tower comes to mind, 
but I guarantee you it will NOT be CHEAP !
