I live on a small corner lot in Portland and trying to improve my antenna situation. Given my lot layout, powerlines and neighbors, a tower or a guyed mast is not possible so I am considering an unguyed mast to serve as the centerpoint for a dipole. The mast would also host 2M/70CM and GMRS verticals, one under the other.
Here's the idea: a 50' Rohn telescopic mast on a Rohn base plate attached with wall mounts to my 34' brick chimney. Can I do this without guying the upper 16' of the mast? If I have to guy the mast, can I do so with two guy points on the roof, assuming I can get enough of an angle? I am not sure how to figure this out, not having done it before.
Thanks for any help and 73 de bill
