Where can I find an inexpensive, freestanding (or lightly guyed),

antenna
tower? It doesn't have to support a lot of weight - a couple of small 2m
radio antennas and one or two scanner antennas. And it also doesn't have

to
be very tall - thirty to forty feet would be just fine. I'm sure others
would be interested in this also.

Go to your hardware store and buy a Aluminum ladder. Clamp it to the side
of the building and guy as necessary.

Just an idea.

As described in a previous message, there isn't a lot of room for guy
wires. The area is about two and a half feet wide - just enough room for a
cement slab to support a small freestanding tower. After that, there just
isn't any room to run guy wires out very far. What there is (the building
and a nearby fence) isn't going to provide a strong support for guy wires.
