Default M152 masts

Hi JD.

The info I have only shows the standard 20' or 34' antenna/mast assemblies. This is the same issue as the 19 set. Stores on top of the inside stowage rack on the left side. These masts could be used to support a long wire or with the additional "F" sections and base insulator be driven as a vertical. The 152 came with ground mount kit, a base for mounting on the roof and hardware for attaching to the side of the truck just behind the drivers door for use as a mast only.

Having said that mine has a 3 piece steel mast that attaches behind the driver's door but the mast is sectional and on a swivel base, not pop-up. I suspect this is for the C42 set antenna as the MP68 ground plane base could attach to the top giving it needed height.

I wonder if local mods were done by units to suit their needs?
