That looks great, Jason, very clean casting. I'm looking forward to 'upgrading' my build. Thank you so much!
Last night I was doing some studying on the antenna in the upright position. There is only one known photo of it in the upright position from behind. I was looking at it to see what was behind holding it up. At first glance it didn't seem that hard to figure out, even though it is partially hidden. Then I tried to cut some plastic rods to mimic what I was seeing. That's when I realized there is more to it than meets the eye.
The pending decisions: 1) Do I wait for a better photo to turn up, which might never happen? 2) Do I build something that just looks right, but could be way off? 3) Or do I just glue it back down as I had it?
I'll explore option 2 before I do anything else.
