[TowerTalk] Alum Masts

[EUGENE SMAR]

Tom (et al):

     Here's what I sent to Frank W8HO earlier today in reply to his question
about masts:


Frank:

      If you finally decide on steel tubing for your mast, I'd recommend you
call Joe Varva at Special Metals, Inc.  I got very good service through Joe
when I ordered my mast last summer.  His trucker dropped the 100+pound mast
in my back yard - I didn't have to lift a finger.  Also, even with shipping,
his prices were good compared to a local (75 miles away) source I had been
considering.

     The full address and numbers are:
6406 South Eastern
Oklahoma City, OK 73149
Sales: Joe Varva
800-727-7177.
