I did pick up a 20-foot piece of one inch by 1 inch aluminum square tubing with a .125 wall. But the 20 foot piece actually sags under its own weight. Since this antennas and odd design , I will probably come up with an odd brace.



Not long ago I saw an antenna on a roof and the boom brace was above the antenna boom. Is there any anything wrong with doing it that way? That opens up couple possibilities if I can do that.
