[TowerTalk] those 4 foot 1.5" fiberglass army surplus tubes...

[larryjspammenot@teleport.com]

I've seen both fiberglass and aluminum 4' poles available at surplus stores, estate sales, on-line sites and at hamfests. 

How about the availability of the aluminum poles - are they getting grabbed up, too? 
Maybe I better pick up a set the next time I see them for sale.
