Howard:

Thanks for this link and its associated info.

Somehow, while wading through all the google junk I missed it.

I actually have a line on one or two mast possibilities right now, but if 
either of those possibilities don't work out, this will be a good option.

I definitely will have to guy whatever I put up, because I'm thinking of 
putting my Carolina Windom 160 Compact on the top, and the DXCC about 10 
feet below.  The antennas will run at right angles, so hopefully, coupling 
between them will be minimal.

I still wish I knew where I could get one of those original telescopic masts 
that Radio Shack used to sell.  It'd be a lot cheaper, and fill the bill 
nicely.

I just can't believe they discontinued those things!

Google is one of the worst ways to look for anything, because of all the
extra crap you have to wade through.

I don't know if this is what you want, but the site indicates two things of
interest.
1.  The Channel Master 1650 is out of production.
2.  They have it in stock.
If you are just anchoring a wire to the top, guying might be nice but maybe
not necessary, since wind loading is minimal.
The way as I understand it, the Alpha delta antennas use the support as the
ground side of the antenna.  fiber glass is therefore not a good idea,
unless you run a wire down from the antenna to the aluminum mast.
Now 50 feet minus a bit for sections.  $177, plus shipping.  Tell us what
they have, and if this link becomes an antenna support.
