Pneumatic masts are regularly on ebay.

k4kio.com I'm quite happy with it.

Here is my AB/1386 kind of for reference. It's been suggested I mount this either to a trailer or a vehicle - there were brackets for that to put it on a HMMWV and think I have seen it on the side of a S-280 also. Either way, just a bit short (33' total) and marginal weight-wise for a beam...

I've seen some of those masts come up - often from civilian satellite trucks, WilBurt seemed to make a lot of them - but they are all too short for what I am looking for.
