My portable, modular, antenna mast system

I thought I would do a quick write up on what I use for an antenna mast. I needed a mast to help get my antennas in the air, because I don’t always have a standard issue tree around to help out with that. Not that there aren’t trees where I live, but it’s not exactly a jungle, and you never know where you might want to set up an antenna.

My criteria when I was trying to come up with something was:

  • It has to be lightweight and fairly compact, in order to be carried if need be.
  • I wanted something that could be quickly set up and taken down without the need for special tools or rigging.
  • I wanted something that was low profile when erected, so as to not be too obvious to prying eyes.
  • I wanted something cheap, if not free.

So this is what I came up with.
