David, I have a hip roof so there is not much area with a vertical height of 70". I forgot about the metal AC plenum that crosses right in 'front' of the proposed antenna location. Antenna blocked!

Unfortunately I was working from memory when I thought of this attic idea.  Now that I got up there with a tape measure.... ooops! Ok, the antenna will go outside somewhere, I just need to make that happen. <g>

Why did you scrap the attic location? I have mine in the attic and it works great.

    My initial (easy) plan to put my J Pole in my attic, but is has been
    scrapped.

    Temporarily I've decided to put my antenna outside my office and
    run the
    feed line through window until I decide on a more permanent antenna
    location (an HOA will be involved) and how to get the feed line
    into the
    (brick) house. I will have to put up/take down the antenna when I
    use it.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a good mast that I can put up
    temporarily and take down when not in use.
