I used to sell and deliver the stuff..  The EMT I'm referring to, are 
the 3" and 4" I.D. that was threaded one end and had a built-in coupler 
at the other - not quite so thin.  They come in 10' and 20' sections, 
and are not bad for weight. 

3 and 4" ID tubing is much better rated for a support of some antenna, 
than that small thin-wall stuff you guys are thinking about. The thin 
stuff is the stuff that's used in some houses/businesses as wiring 
conduit.  For more than a 20' run, that stuff can't support itself, let 
alone anything else.
