Hi LJ
If the mast is on a steep roof, how are you going to extend it?
I have used the telescoping masts here, but they were usually close enough
to the roof that I could extend the mast with the joints low enough to
reach. I think on a steep pitched roof, it would be kinda hard to work on.
Might be better to use a roof mounted tripod or something. 73 and GL
