    You might need bigger U-Bolts. That pipe looks rather larger in diameter. I would consider getting a length of antenna mast to get the antenna up higher. Getting it up higher than the local home roof peaks would be the minimum I would recommend. 

    Don't be tempered to use stuff like water pipe, fence pipe etc. All of those are soft and will bend easily in a modest wind. Antenna mast is manufactured using higher strength material.

    Thank you!! Do you have any ideas for antennas that don't need guy lines or don't need a lot that take up a lot of space.  May yard isn't that big, 70ft wide. plus I have 2 younger kids that like to play in the back yard as well. All ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  2. I have an old Birdview satellite pole from the 1980's in my yard and was wondering if this could be used to connect mast to or what could I use this for to get a good antenna up. Planning on getting a GMRS mobile and using as a base station and later getting my ham license. Could this be used for anything such as that. Thank you in advance for your help.
