Paul:

For portable use (carried by a vehicle), I use the Go-Vertical USA tripod adaptor. You can use any of the various aluminum surplus GI masts for the legs (I use 6 on the legs, 2 each side) That will hold a small Yagi-UDa at up to 25 on a low wind day with no guys. I use the smooth mast sections only for the vertical risers, and 1.75" mast clamps for guys for taller sections, up to 50 ft high. up to 35' is easy with one person; over that height, you start to need help.

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!
