[TowerTalk] Mast material question

[Steve Jones]

Mark,
Dave Leeson's book "Physical Design of Yagi Antennas" has a good overview of
specifying masts for your array in Chapter 7.

That that does not really describe much other than it is drawn steel.  1026
is a good mast material, everything does not have to be chromoly.  Your
tower is not chromoly.  Larger diameter is better, I have a Ø3" 1026 mast
that is very strong and it has worked well for me with various monobanders.

Not galvanized as yet. 

Will this be near equivalent to Chromoly?

A modest antenna load is planned- wind surface area.
