    What I said was accurate for what he's wanting to do...Since he also said he's not new to the hobby, and has had towers in the past, then he should know that trying to stick a antenna on top of a couple of 10' poles (which I assume are probably top-rails for a chain link fence) is not going to stand up to high winds without having guy wires attached...Last I checked, top-rails don't have anyway of attaching guy wires, unless you add some kind of brackets...

    Just going by the vague description of what he's wanting to do, I wouldn't suggest sticking anything larger than a coat hanger on that pole, simply because the first good wind gust would probably bring it down crashing threw the roof.

    I know people do it, and maybe get by without then crashing down, but I would not ever suggest going that route, specially not knowing more about how he's planning on securing the poles...
