    As always: what's your county windspeed rating and how far above the top 
of the tower will the antenna be?

    For an 80 MPH and below and the antenna is within one-foot of the top of 
the tower, go to Home Depot or anyplace that's got 1.5" waterpipe or conduit. 
That's FB for this application.

    For 80 MPH and above and the antenna will be 10' or more up the mast, 
then you probably need a real carbon steel tubing mast.
