[wxqc] Pole For Wind Gauge

[Hanford R Wright]

Hi Harry
I have it extended to around 33 to 35 feet.. you can go up to 65 ft. I don't
have it guyed yet but I have watched it in some high winds 40 to 50 mph and
it didn't seem to move much... We did have a gust to nearly 70 mph and it is
still standing straight. It is a lot more rigid than my prior mast a Radio
Shack mast. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow and email them to
you.....

Best Regards

Two questions on the pole - How high did you extend it and did you have to
"guy" it to stabilize it? Looks like a great buy and what I've been looking
for also.

Thanks for the post.

Hi Dave
I think it was a good buy, I was able to buy it at a hamfest fairly cheap...
You might see when there will be a hamfest in your area. Hy-gain which is
part of MFJ goes to most hamfests and their prices are reasonable.....  If I
get a chance I will try to upload a couple pictures of my setup.

Hi Hanford... now that mast kicks but!  The Hams always know where to get
the good stuff.
