Remember those older AM/FM Portable Radios with the antenna that you extended by pulling it out? Or the ;Radio Antennas on older cars that would pop- out, extend and retract when you turned on the radio? This Mast isn't an Antenna, but it extends and retracts by hand ;in similar fashion. ;Available in 20', 30', 40' and 50' heights. All ; telescopic TV ;masts are pre-galvanized and come assembled (Nested) ;with hardware. Erection is made by simply connecting guys and brackets to the attached unique heavy duty rolled edge guy rings and clamps, extend ;each section one at a time (starting with the innermost section), insert the locking cotter pins, rotating the tubes to a locked position, and tightening the clamps. Repeat the process on each successive section until fully erect.
