well, perhaps after all the amusement dies down... could you please forward information about this company and/or antenna? A phone number or web address?

Yahoo Yellow Pages do not show an "Amateur Antenna Supply" in Albany, OR - and a Google search didn't turn anything up either.

No, I wouldn't climb a PVC tower, and I probably wouldn't leave it up full time, but the concept sounds kinda cool for a "weekend tower" - especially for Field Day or adding a second antenna for SO2R on contest weekends... and it sould be easy to haul around on the roof rack of a 4runner.

thanks very much - jeff wk6i
