The mount is home made there is a pin I pull and it folds down this allows me to put in my fiberglass poles in and the rotatable dipoles on the top and just walk it up and put the pin back in. It also makes it real easy to mount the screwdriver. With the masts I do have to guy it but the screwdriver is fine on a short post. The HS 1500 is an OK antenna I'm left a little cold with the spring arrangement instead of finger stock it lacks a lot that was part of the rebuild it was very hard to tune and very sharp. His reasoning for the spring was because finger stock wore out however I have never had problems with the Tarheel in the last 4 years and HS says to replace the spring every year for $16 go figure.
