[TowerTalk] Anyone ever see these fiberglass 5" military poles before

[Dave Thompson]

Gang,

I have a nice bag for these and a whole bag full.  Very light and used for mounting a 4 el HB9 6 meter beam.  The bag is in my basement.  

I had 2 sets of 50 foot aluminum poles that came with a TBW-5 system.  Used to mount a double dipole that worked with a 400 cycle
generator, stand, and 3 section transmitter that ran an 803 at between 250 and 300 watts cw.  The TBW-5 also had a heising modular that ran about 40 watts low level AM.  Marines were to set up on landing on beaches in WW II. This came from MARS and when we left MARS had to return everything but the poles and some spare parts along with a BC-348Q used with the TBW-5 as the receiver.

The aluminum poles were 5 feet and the fiberglass poles are 4 feet.  Neither set of poles were suitable for rotation as they just fit together and with 8 or more poles stacked together was very unstable without guys.
