OK. MFJ has a 33 ft. Telescoping Fiberglass Mast and collapses to 3.8
ft. If ever there was a pole with possibilities for multi design
vertical antennas and dipole/inv.Vs of the portable/toteable/permanent
type, this is it. It weighs in at only 3.3 pounds and costs $80.00
See the '05 catalog page 43 full details. It is flexible, it is black
making it somewhat stealthy and it is UV resistant. MFJ has done only
enough math to show that fully extended it is a full 1/4 wave for 40
mtrs. I don't know how many sections there are but each one pulls out
and twist locks into place. I'm going to get one and play around with
it. I'm dead in the middle of restricted covenant hell. My fault for
that, I had a stroke right in the middle of new home search and my wife
found this home in gated community bought it, but didn't think to ask
about the covenants.

A less expensive solution is the SD-20 collapsible fishing pole
from West Bend available through Worldradio. http://www.wr6wr.com
20 feet and a high-Q loading coil does a good job on 40m.
