I acquired a fair amount of windsurfer mast at a garage sale and have
used it successfully as a mast for a 3 element 6M beam and also as a
support for a 40M inverted vee with no problems yet. I have clamped two
pieces together with hose clamps to get about 22 feet of height with no
guying. Each
Check out spinkler wire at Home Depot. 18 GA, 7 conductor is available.
Of course, it can be buried if required. The wire I used specifically
said okay for burial. Run the numbers to see if the voltage drop is an
issue based on length. There is 4 and 5 conductor available also. You

With another adapter, I use it with my Flex-5000. With no adapter you
can connect it to your computer microphone input and mix or what not and
then drive your rigs from the computer audio output with a resistor divider.

I just received a LoTW confirmation for AO-13 14 NOV 1990 mode B QSO
with CE0ZZZ. Brings back memories. I sure missed the high orbit birds.
I have been active on AO-07 and VO-52 mode B lately and enjoy, but I
hope I live to see another high orbit bird.

I won't give out my exact life member number, but rounded to hundreds is
2200. It was issued in 1997.
Wow, not sure how many are officially declared deceased. 2200/3176 is a
pretty high percentage.
