    hey rt, sorry for tardy reply, lots going on and the 24 hr power outage didn't help.

    1st off, i'm not an antenna installer but i recently installed our antenna at 37ft using this method and i've done a fair amount of rigging; logging, stump farming, log building, raising walls and the like.

    if you already have an antenna mast up, you can save yourself some work by tying the bambú pole to it, instead of having to guy the bambú pole.

    i don't have any current prices on steel tube but here's prices from several years back.
    p584 - 20' GI tube thick 1- ¼ dia
    p388 - 20' GI tube thick 1'' dia

    2pcs - 20'ft pipe will get you a 35ft mast.

    guy wire's not all that expensive.

    i can go into more detail if you decide to do this, just PM me.

    What problems are you referring to? There are many places here with power but without cable access. Wireless internet is the solution and an antenna installed on a mast can improve reception tremendously. This thread is about installing my antenna at my new rental house which does not currently have a mast.

    I have an appointment with an installer in the morning.
