    MOUNTING The A144-20T mast mount bracket will take up to a 2" (5.1 cm) O.D. mast. A 1-1/4" (3.17 cm) television type tubing is satisfactory for any of the single beams. A good heavy-duty antenna rotator will provide the best service and longest life. Often it is desirable to mount several antennas on one mast.
