The upper section of mast is 12' of 6061 aluminum, 1-1/2" diameter, 1/8"
wall thickness. _IF_ by some miracle, it happens to telescope, that's
great, but my assumption is that I will bolt this side-by-side to the lower
mast at three places, using #6 SS bolts (4" long). Just below each antenna,
we will attach guys running forward and back along the RV.

Am I missing anything important?
