A detail of the three-section fiberglass mast on the tripod supporting the antenna. View the large size to see the fiberglass mast sections and the antenna. The fiberglass masts fit over the tripod as if purpose made, then nest on each other. We have four fiberglass sections, but used only three here. We bought the sections at a military surplus store, where they are described as tent poles.

We could have splayed the legs of the tripod out further for greater stability, as the bike mechanic did.
