[wxqc] Pole For Wind Gauge

[Victor Engel]

Currently, I'm using an aluminum telescoping pool net pole (it's
corrugated and pretty strong but very light) that telescopes from 8 to
16 feet and have it mounted on my roof. So far I've been using it
unguyed, but I want to guy it at some point. The rubber or plastic
handle serves as a convenient mounting point, but I suspect that
material will start degrading in the full sun. This 30 foot pole
sounds good. What is the diameter? Do they have other sizes? I think
30 feet would be a bit much for me since I'm starting from the roof
(which is already at 28 feet). I've got mine at 12 feet now putting
the anemometer at 40 feet, but I would raise it when I guy it.
