OK, that makes a huge difference. On a mount like that my galvanizing would cost me close to $10 alone.

I have used Andrew S200 like George says (2 ft standoff) or S300 (3 ft), actually they go up to 6 ft standoff. Or Connect-It Wireless S2-S6. Can be used on vertical or sloping tower legs. Sitepro1 also has several solutions, some of which are YUGE!
