Old age is a bummer. i forgot to add that i get reducers for the conduit pipe so that they will fit together. I end up with around $100.00 bucks in a 60 foldover mast. you can also put a small yagi for vhf on top if you want.. i have also installed 108 in whips for a top hat and since the mast is not gounded installed a loading coil at the base and used as a vertical on 80 and 160. but then you get into putting out a good radial system. bottom line is you have a little of both worlds.. dipoles that you can change for the ground with the pulleys and a 60 ft vertical. .
