[TowerTalk] Small mast design - comments?

[Don]

The Harbor Freight flag pole you note was a good buy and has been up for 
a while. Works great as a flag pole.

There is another vendor of long nonconductive poles I ran across some 
time back, https://wonderpole.com/ <https://wonderpole.com/>

Would be easy to just run a large AWG wire up it with some ties as a 
quick and dirty part of a vertical.
