Mark,
Dave Leeson's book "Physical Design of Yagi Antennas" has a good overview of
specifying masts for your array in Chapter 7.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Mast material question
That that does not really describe much other than it is drawn steel. 1026
is a good mast material, everything does not have to be chromoly. Your
tower is not chromoly. Larger diameter is better, I have a Ø3" 1026 mast
that is very strong and it has worked well for me with various monobanders.

Not galvanized as yet.
Will this be near equivalent to Chromoly?
A modest antenna load is planned- wind surface area.
