fit into each other, of about 6-7 meters each and a shorter rotating =
length for the top, say about 1.5 meters in length. The bottom piece =
would go from the ground upto just above the peak of my roof, the second =
with a 1 meter over lap would go from the roof up, then the final third =
piece once again with a 1 meter over lap would go from there upto the =
rotator.

These will be guy wired, so I need to attach those guy wires to the mast =
and to the house.

What I need are suggestions for materials for the poles, guy wires, and =
all the relavent means to attach them. I'm looking for somewhere to buy =
an antenna rotator and anything else anyone can think of which I might =
need.

Certainly links to websites is great but business names and address's =
etc would be ok as well.=20

What I'm interested in, after reading about GMR's mast breaking, is what =
type of materials work best and have appropiate strength etc...

I have not put up a mast before which required anything more than =
bolting it to the side of the house, so the more information the better.

Phil, NodeHPL.
