I could put a 1/4 bolt through the joint, that should prevent it from being loose? Ron

Also FWIW, chain link fence top rail tube joints aren¡¯t a particularly snug?fit-up, so using some JB Weld in the joints, splinting them externally or guying at the two joints might be wise.

Hi Ron,
I bought a 20¡¯ joint of 2.25¡± OD CRS from this outfit years ago when they were in Tempe. They will deliver & the total cost was reasonable.

Can you point me to a suitable mast? I have seen Dave Casler's one made from fence top rail, is that the best option? It would barely clear the top of the roof, making me think it would still drape over the roof itself. Im assuming?that is a bad condition to have.

Subject: [QueenCreekHams] Looking for Antenna advice ? Im trying?to put up an antenna and having issues as shown in the attached picture. Basically, I cannot get the antenna up because the spiderpole is just bending over and causing the antenna to drape over the roof instead of being elevated. If I apply enough force to raise the antenna off the roof, the pole bends over far enough to touch the roof itself. Please provide some advise?how to resolve this issue.
