Hello
Does anyone know anyone that has for sale good old 10 foot antenna masts?
I have checked all over the local Seattle WA. area and it seems nobody sells them?
I can find 5 footers and they are crazy expensive but with he demise of Radio Shack it seems
that hey are now just gone, So i am asking you all from all over the USA if anyone knows
any suppliers that sell them. Please let me know,
Thank you.

Lowe's or home Depot in your area,I believe they come in 20 feet,at least they did in my area,got mine cut down to a 8 foot section of top Rail,

Agree with Home Depot. Prob like 10-15 bucks.. Lowes has similar toprail (maybe even the same brand). They are 10' 6" with one end tapered as to connect one to another. I have one rail holding up my P99 on the side of my house. Love that extra free 6 inches. Every time I move it or put it back up after adjusting i try to utilize all the feet and inches. :LOL:

Oh yes! Riverman that reminds me . I have also use a Mr. Longarm telescoping pole from HD. It extends to like 24ft or something. Great for supporting an inverted Vee or any other wire antenna where you can get the elements away from the mast. Its aluminum in the top two sections. But a neat pole.

I never bought the tall one because I didn’t want to have to guy it. These poles do work great. If you desire a larger diameter to attach an antenna to, or prefer not to attach to the aluminum portion, you can simply turn the pole upside down. Works great. :giggle:

Ace Hardware has Channel Master and RCA masts, 8.5 ft and 4.5 ft sections. If not in stock, you can order it for pick-up at your local ACE, that's what I did for my last 8.5 ft section. ACE part #3534716 and #3534716.

Thank all of you for the responses! I was looking to add on to what i had but at this point you have all given me many choices. Now to see if i can figure a safe straight way to connect to what i already have. You all are awesome.

    So I have a cobra 138xlr and the meter dose not work... It dose not key up and signal dose not work.... It is not stuck it the meter moves freely. now wires are resoldered on both ends...So now that do I look at. Could it be a diode or a transistor?
