Wondering if anyone can suggest where they got their fiberglass
elevation supports for antennas from?
I have a friend who is looking for longer pieces than I have for
a project and I can't find any of the info that has been mentioned
on the -bb over the years. Probably just not doing the right word
searches.
Thanks,
James W8ISS

It is unfortunate that information on this event is not on the W2GSB web
site.
I've spent all morning looking for them on every ffrequency Peter listed
and have heard nothing.
Is there a site listing realtime operations modes and frequencies?
anyone else heard them?
Thanks

James,
If your friend has lots of money, M2 has a heavy duty split design with a
metal section in the middle to allow you to really tighten down on the
clamps.

There are other ways to accomplish that with less expensive hollow booms.

If anyone wants one of these (or at least the metal and fiberglass
bits), unused, I have one sitting here that I'll sell for 1/2 the M2
price (plus shipping).

Just a suggestion:
Try wood dowel rod driven inside a schedule 20 PVC pipe.
These items should be available locally wood is several times stronger than
steel PVC protects the wood.

Steel tubing works great, and is readily available, strong and cheap. You

Hi Frank,
Thanks for clarifying my QSL options, and sorry about the confusion on the
ARISS involvement. I had assumed that his activities were driven by the
contract he had with the Russian tourist thing (I forget the organization
name).
Richard's flight was a major event, and all involved should be proud of what
was accomplished.
Thanks again,
Greg KO6TH
