[C320-list] Approaches for mounting a TV antenna?

[Rod Boer]

Hi Larry,

I did receive four photos of your antenna.  There were also four what appear
to be text messages which have nothing them when I view them, but they might
have just been associated with the pictures.  Your installation looks great.
Is it fairly rigid when you are sailing?

Rod

Rod,

I just sent the photos from my iPhone to our Verizon email.  Please confirm
that you got them.
