Looking at a Tram 1411 and seeing it needs a 1 3/8 inch mast. Is that bascially a pipe of some sort that the antenna itself mounts too or do i need soemthing speacial?

1 inch EMT conduit if it's 10 feet or less and just that antenna will work. You can easily get into commercial grade antenna mast material, but it's expensive and overkill for hobby use. I've had a piece of EMT conduit on my mount for about 15 years now without issue.
Plus, the EMT conduit is easy to find, you should be able to find it at any home improvement store.
