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.
