Hi Ted,
One last question. Did you use a power booster for the antenna, and if so do
you know that model number as well. In looking at their stuff it appears a
booster can be an option to any of their units.
Thanks again

Joe,
Here is the link to the company. I was fortunate in that their
warehouse is only 30 minutes north of my house, here in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Again, we are very pleased with the reception.

Hi Ted,
Glad you completed the TV cable installation. Would you tell me where
you purchased the Glomex 10" antenna. I can only fine a 14" model.

I have successfully completed this project. Thanks to all
for your ideas.
I took apart the mast light and attached 5 strands of 80 lb.
test monofilament. My wife pulled the mast light wires down to the base of the
mast where we had freed the black hose exposing the wires. I then pulled the
mast wire to the top and re-wired the light, as this was the immediate
priority.
One at a time, we used one strand of mono to pull the VHF
antenna wire through. It was snug at the bottom as the wire was pulled through
the exit nipple. We then pulled the TV antenna wire through after smearing the
end with silicone lubricant. This made the second antenna wire pull through
much easier. The exit nipple is full now.
I mounted a Glomex 10" TV antenna at the top of the mast and
the reception is great. We are able to pick up TV stations from West Palm
Beach that my house antenna, located 25 miles closer, does not pick up. The
sailboat is on a mooring in Key Biscayne.

Try using a short length of bicycle chain attached to a
some strong
thin line. The chain will help pull it down and makes
fishhing it out
the bottom easier.
