MM expunged (ka1rrw@yahoo.com):
I use a sold 12 foot fiberglass rod for elevation. it is a 1.25". but it was a bit narrow and will somtimes slip at the M2 antenna brackts.
I had the same issue, I used a 1.25" fiberglass boom with the M2 antennas. I recently replaced the stock M2 u-bolts (which are designed for 2" masting) with smaller u-bolts that now keep the antennas solidly in place. DX engineering has a nice supply of bolts and saddles, the quality is very good.
