Ken,

Your first hint will be a disastor.  Many guys here have "been there and
done that" and learned the hard way.  You may think two years is a long
success record.  I don't.  My masts have been place since 1973.  They are
steel and not loaded as heavy as yours.  Put my name on the list of guys who
think your mast is a disastor waiting to happen . . .  It just is NOT worth
the risk, believe me.  Get a good mast from K5RC and swap out the aluminum.
