I'm looking to collect range poles

Just to help Natester out.

He forgot to add "hold my beer and watch this"...

🙂

Thanks, Deral, but not THIS time! This one is for real!

Your going to mess around and poke a hole in the ellipsoid again.. Just ask O'Roly what happens when you do that.

i don't know what it's going to be nate, but it'll probably look cool. will said pole array need to be registered with the FAA as a new obstruction?

He needs a shot in a really deep and nearly vertical ravine.

Nate,
Talk to Scott Foster. He used military surplus mast materials to get GPS above the canopy for observations at this monument:

Well, if nothing else, Nate may just be assembling the world's tallest lightening rod.

I know where you can get 120' of range pole sections. But they'd all be brand new...

Nate,

Hayes Inst. has several on their used equipment website for about $9 each.

Range poles make good handles for frog gigs.

But I would think 120 feet would be hard to handle one handed while holding a spotlight in the other. 🙂
