What about 5.8 GHz band?
But more towards the tower thing..
One of those 40 ft poles from the Spiderbeam folks could easily hold
something up at 30+ ft without too much trouble. You'd need to figure
out some sort of base to hold it upright (i'd look at a tripod of short
painter poles or 2x4s or something like that.)
At 40 ft, the tippy top is pretty thin and flexible.
They also have taller poles that are bigger.
