Right now I have a 10 foot 2" in the ground 4 feet with rebarb and 11 bags of concrete, I have another 2" screwed into that one with just the threads, and then its supported at the eve.. The base of my antenna is 26 feet off the ground..

Not sure who mentioned it, but they said to take everything down and cut the 2" pipe thats in the ground so only 3 feet is exposed. This is so I can utilize the base, they said to slip a 10 foot 2 1/2" over , then cross bolt it, take the other 10 foot 2" pipe and slide it into that, cross bolt it, then support it at the eve like it is, and then slide a 21 foot 1 1/2" pipe into that.. This will get me 35 feet from the base of antenna from the ground, and the pipes will of course no longer be threaded together.. And with more then half the weight of the antenna difference, it should be solid..
