I'm deploying an antenna on my residential rooftop for 2.4GHz wireless for a 
community LAN and I was wondering the best way to get 20' high with no guy 
wires.  Currently I am using a 3ft tripod with a 1.5 OD 10' piece of heavy wall 
conduit...very rigid and withstood a heck of a windstorm yesterday, but not 
quite high enough.  Loading is minimal with one radio and a 70" antenna on top. 
 What supports and materials would be best for this application.  I was really 
hoping there was a 20' mast I could use that would fit in my current roof 
tripod that accepts 2"OD max.

If I have to, I could settle for 15'...

Thanks,
Daxx
