By the way, I just purchased the first three 10-foot sections of a 60-foot mast for my planned EOTW antenna array. Technically, it will be closer to 55 feet after the base gets buried in cement, but that's still plenty tall enough! Planning to mount the following devices on it:

1: High Frequency shortwave antenna for global communications
2: Dual-band 2-meter and 70-centimeter antenna for county and state communications
3: Citizen's Band antenna for local communications
4: Multi-band receiver antenna
5: 3 TV antennae, pointed at Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati
6: 4 wireless remote cameras providing 360-degree coverage of horizon
7: Remote weather station

It will be buried in three to five feet of concrete and anchored 20 feet up at the peak of my barn roof, which means it should pretty much survive any wind gust even without guy wires. Anything strong enough to take down the mast is going be strong enough to take the barn with it.

I plan on getting the first two sections up with just the roof anchors this weekend so I can get it plumb and mark the hole to be dug. I'll get it set in cement before winter hits, add the third section and then let it sit all winter before adding the last three sections and putting a load on it sometime next year.

I'll try to post photos as I go.
