$50 Mast for my HF Antenna. Using Chain Link Fence Top Rails and some PVC.
3 years ago

The mast is about 25 feet tall to where the Balun for the OCF Dipole will hang.
Materials used: 1 7 foot Chainlink fence post, 2 10 foot top rails, 1 10 foot section of 1.25 inch Schedule 40 PVC, and some nuts and bolts I had hanging around.
The 1.25 inch PVC fits perfectly over the fence top rail. It had a lot of wobble at the connection so I used about 2 feet to make that connection a bit more rigid, then the rest to add about 5 feet to the top.
I'm not saying this is the best way to get this done, just showing the way that I did it.
I'll be moving the antenna out of the tree and onto the mast tomorrow.
Hope this helps someone,
73s
