Initially planned as an article on the R-407 station mast, this project evolved into creating a custom mast kit. Utilizing original materials, the design was modified for cost-effectiveness and practicality in home assembly. The new mast extends to 10 meters, featuring secure connections, a leather-lined base to prevent metal-on-metal friction, and sturdy military-grade anchors. Modifications include lengthened connecting tubes, improved anti-rotation features, and a convenient base design for solo assembly.
