I am looking for some suggestions on putting up a 30-40 foot mast or push
up
pole...it does not have to be the fiberglass poles that you see
advertised...the mast would be used for an inverted vee 80 meter antenna
only...also, how do you bracket to the house or how would you attach it to
something similar...thanks...Gary...K8BY


I have done this with Radio Shack TV mast house brakets. Be sure to get the
kind that allows the pipe to extend all the way to the ground. If the mast
is bigger than 1-3/8, you may have to drill new holes in the braket and get
bigger U bolts; I got muffler clamps at an auto supply store for that.
Install 2 brakets, one as high as possible, and one about half way down.
Unless your house is very tall, you will still have to guy the top.
