The Shakespeare 5228-1 is a 1-foot extension mast designed for marine and air band radio antennas. Constructed from white fiberglass to match Galaxy antennas, this 1-inch diameter mast serves to increase an antenna's height, which can improve its effective range or position it above on-board obstructions. It features stainless steel upper and lower ferrules with a standard 1in-14 thread, making it compatible with Shakespeare Style 409-R or 410-R Mounting Kits (sold separately). This heavy-duty extension is suitable for light to moderate applications, such as elevating GPS or TV antennas to clear line-of-sight obstructions. For installations where the combined length of the antenna and mast exceeds eight feet, an upper support bracket (sold separately) is recommended to ensure stability.
