The Aluminum pipe I am going with is 24 feet long. 2 inch outside diameter, 1/2 inch wall thickness, and 1 inch inside diameter-- the solid mounting bar on the omnidirectional antenna will slide right into the top of the mast. I will just have to run a bolt through the top of the mast to hold the antenna in place.

you still think I need a set of guy wires? Do you think the mast pipe will bend with the omnidirectional antenna pictured up on top?

The radials facing at a downward angle are active-- they help lower the angle of radiation so this 1/4 wave antenna will transmit similar to a 5/8 wave. They cannot be removed, the antenna will not work as it was originally designed.

How far away would you recommend I mount the omnidirectional antenna above the beam?
