Antenna mast brackets?

Hi all, staring a build on a new to me 5th.
I am transferring over my Cell Booster and HAM gear. I have acquired a couple of the 16' extendable "painters poles" to play with as extendable antenna masts.

I have seen example of tying additional antennas (wifi booster) to the TV antenna assembly; great idea, but I want to get higher.

I am thinking a chunk of 2" X 4' PVC tie-wrapped to the rear ladder and slide the painters pole into it. Not sure what else I can start hanging off with out modifying the unit too much.

Open to any ideas that you brainiacs have already done. Pics or napkin drawings appreciated.

Thanks, Rick

Many years ago, when we moved into our first house that had a fireplace, I bought a chimney sweep kit. The chimney sweep brush was separate, and the poles it attached to was separate. I completely miss judged the height of a single story house, and ended up buy about 60 feet of pole. To my surprise when I cleaned the chimney, I only needed 2 sections.

Well, since then we moved. Our current house has a fire place, but I've not attempted cleaning it. But those poles sure do work nice cleaning out the 40 foot of cloths dryer pipe a couple times a year. I tape a brush to the end and then I can add a section, turn the rod and clean the pipe with the dryer blowing.

Anyway, I did find out that if the pole gets too long, it get real wiggle. Still, you might consider something like that to make a mast, especially if you drop it into that PVC pipe.

Have you considered an RV flagpole? Bummer mount, ladder mount, or under tire mount.
