See if a farm supply house or welding shop has some of those square steel
tubing...they usually come in 22 ft lengths. You can then get one that will telescope in a slightly larger one. A pier pad at the bottom should be enough to support the bottom and they are very stout, but still can be raised by one person, and you might find that kind of mast won't require guying. wrote in message ... I want to raise the center of my 91 ft folded dipole to at least 35 feet. I live on the west coast of Florida with all the attendant possibilites of hurricanes. I cannot afford a retractable tower and do not have room for proper guy wires. I want to be able to put a pulley at the top so I am able to lower the antenna in the event of high winds. I have a cement block house with a roof peak of about 16 feet, I would prefer not to have to pour a base for the "mast". I would appreciate any advice on supporting the "mast" to the house wall and what material to use for the "mast" so that it might not be permanantly bent by 125 mph winds. Any constructive help gratefully welcomed |
