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

[Larry Frank]

It does stay very rigid.  In the winter I remove the binimi canvas but
leave the bows on.  I lash the bows to the backstay and this works well
too.

There were only four photos.  I don’t recall now but I may have tried
testing them and sent from my computer too.
