Hello Again Denis
If you are only going up 7m or so, there are no council requirements and the antenna and rotator are relatively light such as a VHF yagi, I don't see any reason why you can't make a simple tilt-over mast.
I have attached some photos of mine. It is 8m high, made from 60mm ally tube with a wall thickness of 3.5mm. The lowest antenna is a Create CLP-5130N LP that covers from 50-1300 MHZ. Its a bit low on 23cm gain so I have a separate 18el yagi for that band. The self braking winch lowers and raises it with ease.
I have also attached a photo of my ground-mounted Hustler 6-BTV HF vertical - an excellent antenna.
