Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper and stronger to just add another section of tower
and only extend out 5 foot of mast?
I have worked in a metal shop many years of my life, been a ham for 25+, and
have never understood why anyone
would want to put an antenna mast 15 foot out of a tower. ( No relation to Fred

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Source for 20' Mast
But this stuff surely isn't anything like as strong as the $20/ft.
Chrome-Moly stuff they sell to support an HF Yagi 15ft. above the top of
the 60ft. tower.
It may work well as a guyed antenna support, but when I hear "mast" I
think "unsupported," as in the scenario above.
