A NVIS Antenna Idea (2007)
These antenna supports give you a ten foot height. If they are guyed at the top they at quite stiff.

These are the big stakes available at Home Depot. I think they are 14 inches long. |
Only one side was trimmed on a table saw until it just slid into the PVC pipe. The two untrimmed fins were held against the rip fence |

The narrow ring was cut from the black end piece and glued in such a way to act as a bearing when slid into the 1 inch thin wall PVC |

The PVC pipe assembly at the top extends the height about two feet. The vertical piece has a thin wall piece at the bottom that slides over the painter pole. The upper piece is a two foot long thick wall piece of PVC pipe that extends above the eight foot painter pole. They are connected together with a coupler. |
