Thanks for the ideas and discussion guys. Food for thought.

Can anyone address the 2 points I asked about?

Rohn vs Glenn Martin bearings:

http://www.glenmartin.com/catalog/page195.html

Is a Rohn rotor shelf beefy enough for the bearings?

New question:
How about aluminum masts?
http://www.heightstowers.com/accessories.htm

They also have bearings which look like the same ones at Martin. Any 
experience here?
