[TowerTalk] Wooden Power Pole Antenna Masts

[Pat Barthelow]

So...do poles get good marks in the article?  They seem to be vastly cost effective, and underutilized.  I looked at poles at a big mfg:  Look at McFarland-Cascade to get quotes on wooden poles, even up to 120 ft hts....

All the Best, 73,

 It was beautifully done, most of the pages of the article were large full
 color pictures.
 I'd recommend it.
