I actually found what I hope is a solution. The KANGA 33' Telescoping
Fiberglass mast for $99 is guaranteed against breaking or shattering in winds such as I might encounter, free replacement of broken sections if this is so. Weighs only 4 lbs, base is 2 inches. K1CRA, the distributor, suggested that all I needed to do was mount this against my pipe mount with a 2X4 and U-bolts. He also distributes a sealing agent for permanent installations. With this, he said, all I needed to do was run wire up the mast and work against my pipe mount as connected to the overall ground systems. Sometimes it is the obvious which is the hardest to conceive of. I always though high winds and high heights always needed big iron (or copper), but I never thought that something made of an aerospace material would be within my reach... let alone that of a ten foot Pole or a seven foot Texan... I'll let you know how it goes... Thanks, The Eternal Squire |
