Could someone help me out here? I'm looking for a website that I had
once stumbled across... Some folks, I believe in North Carolina, who
built and sold antenna masts for field applications. I believe that
the masts were of the telescoping variety. I think they were made of
PVC, too, rather than being of the fiberglass variety. It seems to me
that they were also rather expensive. If I'm not mistaken, these
products were sometimes sold on eBay (?); but I an not finding listings
currently.

If anyone can help me out on this, I'd be most appreciative. I'd like
to take a look at the products these fellows had on offer.

It's southern Virginia not NC, and it's fiberglass not PVC, but Radio
Works has 33 foot fiberglass telescoping mast for like $75. I haven't
bought it, but I've bought other antenna stuff from them and was happy.

David posted a link to Fair Radio, which has top-quality mil-surplus
masts that roll up into a nice man-portable bag.

I would think that generally fiberglass would be preferred over PVC for
strength/weight.
