Dudley,

Our club uses several ladders and other supports for the field day full-wave
loop...  An extension ladder is a tool of many uses...!

73, Larry - W1GOR


    For years our club has used aluminum extension ladders for antenna
> supports on Field Day.  A small number of people can stand up the
unextended
> ladder and guy the lower section very quickly.  Then the ladder can be
> extended for operation.  Its an easy structure to u-bold masts to either
on
> the ground or someone can climb the guyed first section and bolt things to
> the upper section.
