Mast for g5rv

[Iforte]

Can anyone recommend a mast that would be suitable for a g5rv in a small backyard? I've looked at spider beam but I'm not sure if they are rigid enough.

Right now I have a PVC on an old DirecTV mount on the side of the house so the agenda is only about 15-20ft in the air. Needles to say it doesn't receive too well.

Thanks for any suggestions

A G5RV can be suspended on something as simple as a TV mast if it's guyed. For what you describe I would think something like a Rohn telescoping mast mounted to the side of the house would work well. You can get them in various sizes but a 30' model will get you about 27' actual height. I know several people that are doing just that. Make sure you keep your window line pulled slightly away from the mast or it will throw your SWR out of whack.
