Take a look at the Moxon Antenna page for sources of cheap rods.
http://campus.murraystate.edu/org/msuarc/moxon/index.htmWhile slightly more expensive, I bought a crappie (the fish, not the
adjective) pole from Cabelas for $10.00.
Sand spikes are easily made of PVC. Cut one end at 45 degrees. The other
end can be slightly flared by heating on a gas grill and forcing heated over
a wine bottle. A protruding stainless steel bolt placed at right angles to
the tube can be used as a foot rest to drive the spike in the ground.
