A Thirty-Foot mast using Home Depot parts

 Building a mast for your HF and VHF antennas is not an easy project, but it may be less expensive if you use parts from the nearest Home Depot outlet.

According to Dave Casler (KE0OG), this project should involve a few friends who will help you build the 30-foot (9.144 m) mast safely and efficiently.

Dave takes us step-by-step through the entire process.  What you get is an excellent, weather resistant support for your antennas.
