Hi all, Thank you all very much for your input and as expected the aluminium pole isn't an option, so I am going down the route of fibreglass tube with wood insert. Just need to source a UK company that can supply the tubing! I have contacted Engineering Composites and will await a price! All

Hi Cris There is an additional benefit with Fibreglass tube. Just use the wood inserts on the clamping areas, rotator and antenna clamps. Then the tube will flex in high winds and absorb some wind enegy. 73 John G7HIA From: Howard Long how...@howardlong.com
