With what type of base mount? Once upon a time I had a 20' RS
mast with a 21' vertical, that was guyed (with poly rope), but
I can remember when the remains of Hurricane Gloria went through,
taking a look and saw almost no sway. That used a chimney mount
about 3' apart.

Also, in the poor pic it looks to be black, is that the case?
Would be nice if it is, wouldn't stand out as much as the galv
steel does.
