The RSM-6 mast is lightweight, man-portable and ideal for elevating lightweight/wire antennas for short to medium term base station or forward command communications applications. Although designed specifically as companion mast for the TAC-HF wideband dipole antenna or RDA30-90 VHF wire discone antenna, the mast is suitable for use with any lightweight, low wind area antenna. Featuring the compact convenience of a telescopic mast, without the disadvantages associated with jamming through excessive sand/dust and water penetration, and high wear and tear, the lightweight fibreglass sections fit inside one another for compact storage and transport.
