I did not want to forget the people who live in Apartments, Condos, that have Restricted Codes on putting up Antenna's . This would be like Cloak and Dagger Aplications or Hide & seek. You will see the Plate that you can drill four wood screws thru and keep the mount on the Railing or Patio, Porch, till you want to use the antenna.You have to use the complete round mount to do this installation. When you want to DX, Have the round mount on the 20 foot telescoping pole, then take the top rubber cap off, grab the base of the mast, give the trlescoping mast a flick of you wrist and out comes 20 foot of mast. Tighten each joint by pulling and twisting each joint till snug. Take the Coil and slide the coil , with the big opening first ,then the small hole in the top till it fits snug .That keeps it on the mast. Then put the antenna system in the round quick connect and make sure that is snug in the mount.Connect the coax cable and the ground wire, and now your ready to use your radios.
