[TowerTalk] DB408 support mast size

[John Simmons]

Our club has a DB408 that we are installing on a fire tower. We need a 
10' support mast to elevate the antenna above the top of the tower to 
obtain 360 degree radiation. We want to use aluminum for easier 
installation. 1.5" aluminum pipe (1.9" OD with .145 wall) is locally 
available. Is this strong enough? The DB408 spec shows "Wind Loading at 
Velocity, maximum 76.0 lbf @ 100 mph". The tower is 90' tall, well above 
the treetops and in a flat area.
