[TowerTalk] Masting source

[K9MA]

That's interesting. DXE did not have the 11 foot version available last 
spring when I rebuilt my antenna system. I ordered the 10 ft. Rohn mast 
from Texas Towers, which was adequate for my needs. It also shipped with 
the tower, so added little to shipping cost.

73,
