[TowerTalk] Any Antenna Experimenters Near Walla Walla, WA?

[Rob Frohne]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there are any antenna experimenters near here who might 
be interested in going together to purchase a decent sized order of 
fiberglass poles from MaxGain Systems.  The poles are cheap enough, but 
shipping is terrible for just a few ($72 for from one pole, and it is 
the same for 70 lbs of them).  I used some of these poles to replace the 
crummy Cubex ones on my four element quad and have found them to be very 
rugged, and they telescope nicely together.    I  never had a problem 
with the spreaders after that replacement.  Now I would like to try some 
experiments with a rotatable dipole under the boom of my 20 meter beam, 
but I don't want to dismantle my quad to do them.   Here is a URL to 
MaxGain Systems.

I do get to Portland, OR fairly regularly, and Seattle once in a while.

73,

Rob, KL7NA (in Walla Walla, WA)
