This is a request for opinions.  I am thinking about putting up a wire
antenna.  At my age (81) I have no interest in climbing towers, trees or the
roof.  Nor I am I interested in installing any support that requires a
concrete base or that weighs over 100 pounds.  

I've noted there are at least a couple of telescoping masts (up to 50 feet)
that could be used to support simple wire antennas (when guyed
appropriately).  One is carbon fiber, the other is aluminum.  Is there any
advantage of one of these over the other for "permanent" antenna support?
Initial cost is not a factor.
