No TV signal this morning after last night's winds and a check on the
roof reveals that the aerial mast has rusted through and snapped. B &
Q do a 3' mast which is exactly what I'm looking for:

Out of curiosity, are there other places that you can walk into and
get a 1" x 3' mast?


You may also want to consider a 1.5 or 2 inch diameter mast in
aluminium.

You may have a tlc branch on a trading estate near you
