My neighbor, N6RZ (SK) had a 3-el 20M monobander on a telephone pole in 
his front yard. He had a long 2M Yagi on another such pole. I helped his 
widow dispose of his stuff, and organized the parties to take down his 
antenna farm. The guys who took stuff down from those two poles 
described them as being in pretty poor shape, and they were quite 
careful to avoid stressing them when they climbed them.
