[TowerTalk] Source for 20' Mast

[W0MU-Mike Fatchett]

I just ordered a 20ft mast DOM 2" from Array Solutions.  $15.00 per foot.
They had 18 and 20 ft sticks currently.

Array Solutions and Texas Towers are great sources for the 20 foot mast.
Another you might look at is the W9IIX Ladder mast which has steps.  Mine
has been up there for nearly 14 years and has gone thru several tornadoes
and 95MPH winds from Opal in 1995.
They are usually 18 feet but you might be able to talk him into making it
longer.  When I ordered he told me that the normal ladder mast would be 3
weeks delay but he had a 22 footer in stock for a special order that fell
thru.

Another possibility is HD aluminum.  Tull metals sold a 20 foot stalk some
years ago with heavy wall that many in the Atlanta area used for stacking 2
and 3 big beams.  The weight is much less but 20 years ago the 20 foot piece
sold for nearly $200 so its probably three times that today.

I was looking for 50 foot Rohn push up masts a couple of years ago.  You
could find one on the internet for between $50 and $75 but shipping from
California to Georgia was over $300.
