ROTATOR AT THE BASE OF THE MAST, ALLOWING COMPLETE MAST ROTATION.  THIS IS

THE SPIDERBEAM MAST.  REASONABLY LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO SHIP ON MOST
AIRLINES, RIDICULOUSLY STURDY, AND EASY TO SET UP WITH ONE PERSON WITH A
FEW OPTIONAL ITEMS, THIS MAST WILL BE A PART OF YOUR PORTABLE GEAR FOR A
LONG, LONG TIME.  PHONEMA KSP3 HAM SPEAKER  PHONEMA INTENDS TO PROVIDE
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH MOST POPULAR AMATEUR TRANSCEIVERS.
AS WE WRITE THIS, THEIR ONLY PRODUCT IS THE KSP3, DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT

LEAVE A SPACE FOR OTHERS TO FILL, AND PHONEMA HAS JUMPED IN.  THE KSP3
