Hi Steve.
If you have access to back issues of CQ magazine, there is an article in
May, 1990, "An alternate mast design-simplifying the antenna stacking
process". It shows how to use a top section of Rohn 25G for a mast. He
has a KT-34XA sidemounted on it and it looks kinda side heavy, but the
guy says it works OK. But his is only 10 feet though. 73
