Learn how to setup this mast and never be without a way to get your HF antenna on the air.
The Tenkara Fishing Mast is something I learned about from K7ODX the UTAH SOTA section Manager.
I have a number of these masts and they are invaluable for SOTA, POTA and just having fun setting up a radio while camping.
