Thanks, Dave, for mentioning this. In my case the pole will be supporting an
octagon shaped loop made out of 100 feet of 3/4" copper pipe. The top of the
loop will be several feet below the pole top, and if necessary I will guy
the top of the pole.

Thanks for your comments. My current thinking on this matter is to
purchase a 35 or 40 feet hinge base fiberglass flagpole. Going this route
costs a few bucks, but the flagpole only weighs about 75 pounds and can
be moved in the event that I change QTHs.

Make sure that the pole can support the wind load of your proposed
antenna's. Remember fiberglass is strong but brittle and will snap is
overloaded.
