[MLB-WIRELESS] Need a mast

[vak]

Try "A Noble & Son"s for all stainless wire rope if you have chosen not 
to use galvanised guy wire (which you can pick up from electrical 
wholesalers). Stainless looks much nicer and is stronger (but more 
expensive too).

They were in Dandenong and the phone phone number I had for them was 
9706 9333

The other place I have found cheap is Alvin (as Ratbaggy said). If you 
can't find it at Alvin's, there is always RadioParts (but they are more 
expensive than Alvin)

Cheers,

Vak
