My fathers own an electrical supply warehouse so I have access to steel
conduit at cost.

As far as I know, conduit isn't rated as a structural member...

Does this idea have any merit? Is 2" steel conduit rigid enough to
support
weight at 28' above ground?

I have three sections of 10' mast up, supporting a discone; it's
scary to watch it sway around in a high wind, but it's held up. It's not
conduit, though. My brain is trying to tell me that conduit won't take the
necessary flexing....you might want to look into that.

Robert,

What is your mast made of and how is it supported?

Thanks.
