Hi all long time no post, I am wanting to get back into CTDX again, however after my resent move I have misplaced my old mast, yes I know how can you misplace such a thing?
So does anyone know of a place that I could get a new one at all?
Many thanks and 73's

Hi Richard, (Is it Richard? I'm going by the call sign list on your call sign here and can update it if you wish.)
I just took a quick look at antenna masts and nearly choked on me brew! Expensive bit of kit to misplace.
There does seem to be various suppliers online though from the usual retail outlets to the POA commercial establishments. (I expect 'Price On Application' means a lot! )
Were you looking specifically for 'new' or 'new to you' as in grabbing a second hand unit? Only clarifying in case anyone here can accommodate you.
Sorry I can't give a specific recommendation. (My missus would kill me for daring to look at such items!)
All the best, Victor

Hi Victor
Yes the name is Richard, the kind of thing that I lost, for the life of me I have no idea where it got to, was a 10 m roach pole, not the carbon fibre ones, and no I really cant afford one of them sota poles.
Many thanks for the reply Richard

No worries there Richard.
I've heard some having bother with cheap eBay roach poles snapping and the 'antenna' outlet places do have them for £40-£50 which I suppose is worth it if they're any good.
It wouldn't be the worst thing to lose on a move....we lost the baby! (Actually, we couldn't remember who we dropped her off with. Luckily she's in her thirties now and doesn't recall it at all. )
I wish you well with your search.
All the best, Victor
