[TowerTalk] Military surplus mast sections wanted

[RICHARD BOYD]

Do you have a picture of the AB-155?  I'm not familiar with it but we use the AB-577s a lot.  I'm trying to figure out the differences.  Maybe an AB-577 would do what you need.

  Brian:

  They are pretty hard to find.  I got a full AB-155 kit several years ago at
  Fair Radio. About the best you can do now is wait until someone puts it up
  for sale on eBay - but hold on to your wallet !!

  The best alternative I have seen is the mast sold by Henry K4TMC who
  represents The Mast Company www.themastco.com<http://www.themastco.com/> . A good price too.

  How hard are the surplus masts to come by.
  I have been reading about them and seem to be pretty neat idea.

  Is there a good place to look for them on the internet.
