I installed a Hustler 6BTV 10-80 meter vertical, then slid a 20 foot length of PVC 2.5 inch schedule 40 pipe over it with a pulley at the top so I can raise my flag on it, therefore it qualifies as a flag pole and is legal. I submitted a flag pole request to the ARC and was approved to not exceed 22 feet. 80 meters does not work very good, but the other bands work fair. I also belong to the local club, but we have not had any meetings since Covid.
