Default what are you using for dipole supports

Drive around until you see one attached to the side of a house
with nothing on top. Introduce yourself as a ham and ask if they'd
like it removed and disposed of free of charge. You might
be pleasantly surprised.

Hi
I been looking for the tv push masts that I used to use for supporting
my dipoles when I was younger. I used to get the fifty foot one stick
a ten foot top section and guy for a decent 80 meter suport system.I
can find anything that is above thirty feet with the loss of tv
antennas to direct and cable . Any sources or other good ideas for
this. I really do not want to buy a tower for this espically as I had
used several for different antennas. Maybe someone has done some
groundwork on using steel or aluminium tubing? Thanks
