Looking for a good mast, Jerry?
Look here too:

I have one for over 10 years now, holding up a 2x10 meter dipole fed with
400 ohm twinlead. Works great, even on 6 meters...
Collapsed, it is a mere 1.15 meters long and weighs 1 kg, at full length
is's 10 meters. Don't let the black color fool you, it's not made of carbon
fibre as I recently saw one questioning himself on the list, so a quarter
wave vertical for 40 is very well possible.

Subject: [Elecraft] telescoping poles
A good base for a portable antenna using telescoping poles is a surf
fisherman's sand spike...It is a tube with a spike on one end that one
inserts into the sand to hold an unattended fishing pole upright...Google
it...
I have been very pleased with my MFJ 33' mast. Easy to setup and takedown.
Still looking for a light and secure base for it.<
