Thanks for the info. Looks do-able. How do you plant these in the ground?
Another 2x4 several feet into the ground? And do you use intermediate guy
wires? I've often thought about building a mast like they've shown in the
Handbook for years, altho they specify 22' 2x3's. Yours seems a bit more
rugged and easier.

Post hole digger. Two feet in solid clay is plenty of
support for a guyed system, at least around here.

Yep, at the 2x4 to fiberglas pole interface - otherwise
the 2x4's will warp something fierce.
