So true. However ME experimenting usually ends up being one of those"Ya'll ain't gonna believe this" moments. Home Depot has offered it's self as a source of insperation. I already have several joints of the military green fiberglass pole sections, I use them with a 4 way 1.5" coupler and 2 3 foot pieces sticking out from either side to hold a 2/70 and 220 J poles that just drop into 3/4" holes. I thought I'd make another top cross piece, to 1. drop the 18' push-up into and 2. use the "arm" to hold the connection/network box out like a sail boat boom/mast looking affair. I could then get the whole thing up where it would take a ladder to come into contact with it. I'll get pictures while trying not to kill myself this weekend, since we're supposed to have some nice weather. I'm hoping my MFJ 934 will let me tune well enough to talk to SOMEBODY!!!!!
IF it works then I'll work on portability.
