Hi Paul,
Check out this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/24-FOOT-FIBERGLASS-ANTENNA-TOWER-MAST-SECTIONS-POLE...
These are excellent for portable and even permanent. They are mil spec so they will last a lifetime. Look at all the listings because prices are all over the map. Choose ones with free shipping. You may even find a set with an olive drab vinyl carrying bag.
I even have a trailer hitch from Harbor Freight that has a piece of muffler pipe welded to it and it fits the fiberglass pole perfectly. You can put up 4-5 pieces and it does not move.
On my permanent masts, I glue the pieces with Gorilla glue and paint them to protect from UV sun.
GL and 73

I know this isn't exactly satellite related, but I've asked for help in other places, and the feedback has been sparse. You guys have always been very helpful. I'm looking for a portable antenna mast that I can use between passes while satellite roving. I would like it to be able to go to at least 20', hold a 5 element M2 6 Meter yagi, be able to fit in a small truck and be portable. I have looked at numerous military surplus masts, like at Go-vertical-usa, but they will not return any of my correspondence. I have looked into many "home brew" solutions, but I'm just not that handy.
Anyone have any good sites I can go to for something that fits my needs? Thanks in advance for your help!
