[amsat-bb] Antenea Masts

[Paul Overn]

Thanks to all for the responses. I received more information then I could have hoped for. So now come the fun part: Research. Seems that most use the military masts, but there are some other suppliers that really look interesting. 
I have a summary of the information you have sent me. If I missed someone or something, I'm sorry, but with all the emails coming in I was a bit overwhelmed.

 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!
