It's telescoping friction fit fiberglass like those fiberglass fishing
poles everyone's using for portable antennas, just much heavier duty.
I just guyed the bottom section of mine (40 inches up) with a few tent
stakes and that's enough to support it in a breeze at least. I'd make
a good base support of some kind if you'd leave it up in the wind, but
I don't. If the WX is bad I take it down. We'll have to see about the
winter, I might want to keep it up in bad winter weather... bad summer
weather always means thunderstorms, and therefore, QRT!

Is that pole self-supporting? How do you put it up and how do you take it
down?
