Another thought popped into my head as we discuss storage - is the poles needed for the Field Day setups. Kip owns his poles, we talked about getting poles, Darryl has a pile of poles in his yard, and I know a few others have poles. Sometimes there's poles at hamfests, but if we look to aquire poles, we need a pole count, and then allocate space for all those poles.

Alternatively, if we're erecting resonant dipoles, something I see a huge percentage of POTA people discuss in the POTA group on Facebook - they're using Spiderbeam telescoping masts to go 40, 50 60 feet in the air from a central push up point. Our mast top is a little specialized with the balun box, but I put a question to Tony about the need for the mast-top balun for a 1:1 resonant dipole antenna.??

Add a screw in "dog leash" anchor at the base and fashion a mid-way set of guy lines, and it could dramatically simplify our field day, dipole setup.
