[TowerTalk] Wooden tower

[Jack]

In 1959 when I was innocent and a new ham (13 years old and broke), I 
constructed the mast that was in the handbook.  Made out of 2x4's and 
carriage bolts.  I used it for one end of a dipole.  Worked good and I 
still have a picture of it.  If memory serves me, my neighbor (now K5RC) 
also used it as a support for his dipole.
