Now that we've got this discussion on coax and connectors going, let me
raise a question on antenna mounts. I'm interested in a way of mounting my
masthead antenna in a way that allows me to swivel it 90 degrees so that
it's perpendicular (vertical) to the mast when I've got the mast down for
trailering. I'd like to do this *without* breaking the coax connection to
the mast. I want to do this to avoid having the antenna sticking out 3' or
so past the mast when trailering (would require a red flag/light) and when
parking the boat and trailer.
