        If the mast is too short,  you can use a piece of aluminum tubing of 
an appropriate length. Lash it to a  tower leg with a pulley on the top and 
that'll work.

     When I assembled my tower I used Steve's technique of lashing the ginpole to a leg of my Trylon tower.  I have a photo of the arrangement at:  http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j282/ersmar/?action=view&current=Ginpolesupportchain.jpg .  Note that I also included a length of steel chain and a couple of heavy S hooks in the ends of the chain on which to support the weight of the ginpole.  

     Questions? - you know where to find me.
