Greetings All:

I just posted this query to the FT-817 group also, so it will be

vue all over again for those of you who are members of both groups.

Recently, as a result of other discussions concerning using fishing
poles, and the DK9 10 metre fibreglass masts as antenna supports, I
cam across this web page from Giovannini Antennas on a neat (at

I think so) portable mast, strong enough to support a small beam.
See the following link:



I queried via e-mail shipping costs to Canada. Needless to say, I
just about had a coronary when the response was $US160 via UPS and
that package is too big for the mail and can't be shipped by

I found a German retailer, at www.wimo.com who has the same thing,
more specifically at:



After three e-mails, I have given up because whenever I ask for a
quote, he goes off on some tangent and never answers the question.

can only assume that his failure to provide a shipping quote is a
strong message that he just can't be bothered.

Are there any other options that I have to get this masting to

or am I stuck with UPS. (Actually, I am not stuck, because I will
not deal with UPS because they add a brokerage fee to anything they
ship into Canada. Maybe $US160 isn't outrageous for a courrier
company, but I don't need this tomorrow - I can wait.)

In advance, thanks for any advice.
