Re: [IRCA] Brainstorming - Temporary Antenna Supports



I also use bamboo poles at home. Many years ago, a next door neighbor planted some bamboo in their back yard. Fast forward to 2018, and I now have an infinite amount of the stuff growing on my side of the fence. It spreads rather aggressively and lends a whole new meaning to the word sustainability. At least I'm able to use some of the taller bamboo plants for antenna supports after I chop them down.

They are what hold up my Flags and End-fed for the Amateur bands.
