be careful attaching it to the house. The amount of overhang will affect
that task.
Take a look at the power company's service entrances to most homes. Most
will penetrate the roof and come down a wall. Some use "unistrut" and
"unistrut straps" to mount pipe to a wall - available at an Electrical
Supply house like Graybar. If you use 2" heavywall galvanized conduit - and
fill it with concrete, it will resist bending pretty good. Mount a pulley on
the top to raise the antenna.
If you try to attach the pipe to just a facia board, remember that the
facia board *could* come loose.

Hal,
I don't have an immediate need to put up a mast but like your idea
with the unistrut! Hope I remember it when I need it.
