Hi Richard:
I got the standard version which is tuned by the tuner in the shack, which is an MFJ 989D.
It is self supporting and is supposed to handle wind gusts of 90mph unguided.
I just got mine mounted on a 5 foot length of pipe driven into the ground about 3feet. I'll be lowering it before I leave the cottage, so won't be guiding it.
For a more a permenent setup, I would cement the pipe and guide it.
