I bought one of the Jackite 31' push up kite poles to build the Tee Pee v 20 and 40M antenna in the June QST. I removed the top 3 sections of the pole and built a slip on top section to hold my center connector with a SO239 connector. Antenna was pretty easy and it does give me two inverted V dipoles. Using a Tuner it will tune other bands.

The pole we reasonably priced and seemed to be sturdy enough for my use. I kept the top 3 sections in case i ever wantt o do a vertical wire.
