I own 2 Channel Master telescopic guyed masts that i bought a couple of years ago. I have a 40' and a 30' up at the QTH.
Although they advertise them at 30 and 40' they are actually a few feet short of the advertised height. I guess they just round up the numbers, hi. My 40' mast has been up almost 2 years and last winter i experienced ice buildup inside the very bottom that caused the bottom to split open. In the spring i simply took down the mast(guy wires, antennas, and all) and cut off the bottom 5 foot and added 5 foot on the top of the pole. The mast is now up again supporting 2 doublets one for 80m and the other for 160m. So far so good. My 30' mast is mounted to the side of the back patio and has guy wires out to several different anchor points. It supports a 2 element triband beam and a weather vane. It has been up 2 years as well with no issues. Overall, im very satisfied with the masts that i have and would recommend them to anyone that needs a temporary or even a permanent guyed pole. A bit of advice; make sure you wear good heavy leather gloves!!!!! The sections will pinch fingers and palms very easily were they come together!!!!!
