Hello, i have a discone antenna that i want to install (Diamond D-130N). About 21 feet above the ground is pretty much the best i can do for now but it would at least be higher than my house. For the mast I'm planning on using this Fence pole each one is 7 and a half feet long and a diameter of 1 7/8 inch.
I will drive the first pole in the ground maybe in a cement bucket. The mast will then be attached to a solid structure at 45 inches about the ground and to another structure 85 inches above the ground the rest of the mast will not be attached to anything (roughly the last 14 feet of the mast) The antenna is not heavy (2.2 pounds). The winds here do not exceed 50-60 miles/h. Do you think the mast would hold up ?
Many thanks
