 So which mast is stronger:  Chromally or High Carbon
 Steel?  What is the general consensus on the strongest
 mast.  Double wall, triple wall?  
 
 I need 22 feet, 20 feet of which will be above the
 tower.
 
 Thanks!

What ever you use here is a tip to make a really strong mast.  Add a 
telescoping section the next size smaller inside for the bottom 2/3 length 
and another section inside for the bottom 1/3.  That makes a very strong mast 
and proportionally strengthened where needed.  K7GCO
