This is just my two cents, but spending the money on antenna mounting hardware is worth every penny. Think how much it is going to cost to have someone climb the tower to replace/fix a cheap $3 clamp that broke in December after our first snow....

But at what cost! :)
This looks about right: [image: DX Engineering SSVC-2P - DX Engineering Saddle Clamps] http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-ssvc-2p
And I did find these earlier too: [image: https://avalanche.tessco.com/productimages/250x250/24198.jpg]

The problem is I need to buy 9 of these to offset-mount the sector antennas, and that's adding up.

A decent suggestion! However, the review on the only Radio Shack one I can find is not flattering:

And I can't find any such clamp @ frys.com. Can you?

A better version can be found in the TV section at Radio Shack or Fryes.

I'm thinking about $2.50/ea would be nice. Muffler clamps are NOT adequate. Muffler clamps have 2 semi-circle contact surfaces, and if the pipe is slightly smaller than the clamp, this creates a 2-point contact which causes rocking action. Gross. The nice toothed and V-angled designs here are the bomb.
Soup for scale. :)
