Hey Sandy I see you're back on the other site. I was going to say something but the thread was thick with admirers. Here's something I did back in the early Nineties to put the TOTL Winegard UHF as high as possible without getting a tower. My background is German and Scotch (the Scot keeps the German from spending too much $$$).



The growing antenna mast is loosely secured at the peak bracket and has guys with a little slack. You "grow" the mast by putting a new section in the hole, then lifting up the mast and setting it on top of the new section. Once you're done with all the sections you fill the hole and secure the peak bracket and guys.
