Hello guys. Any ideas regarding where I can purchase a reasonably priced antenna mast mount? Appreciate any feedback.

And then you could get creative and just build one from salvaged chain link fence poles.

Seemed a bit more flexible, maybe a slightly thinner wall?
I put up an FM 5/8 wave ground plane using the fence top rail and a roof mount tripod. It’s made it through a couple pretty good storms so for the price I think I may have a winner.
