Tim, I don't know how high you want to go but in Ecuador I used a 2 inch and a 1.5 inch,10 foot PVC pipe bolted together to make a mast. The spring in the PVC was enough to keep everything normal in the wind. I anchored the base on a fence post with adj hose clamps. I put a screw in eye bolt in the center of the pipe cap on the top to run the rope through and tied the rope to the fence post. I used one mast at each end of the dipole and the center feed point was at the top of a 11 meter bamboo pole.
