Built from durable white fiberglass, this extension section threads onto a compatible Galaxy antenna base to raise overall antenna height, helping the antenna clear a hardtop, arch, tower, or other onboard obstructions that can block line-of-sight signal. Raising the effective height of a VHF antenna is one of the simplest ways to extend transmit and receive range, since VHF radio performance is heavily dependent on antenna height and unobstructed sightlines to the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mast is sold as an extension section only, not a complete antenna. It is designed to work with the Shakespeare Galaxy antenna series and is available in two lengths to match different boat layouts and height requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Shakespeare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Numbers: 5228-1, 5228-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Marine Antenna Extension Mast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Series: Shakespeare Galaxy antennas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: White fiberglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 1 inch (5228-2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold As: Extension mast section (antenna not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes \u0026amp; Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the 1 foot section for a modest height boost where clearance space is limited, or the 2 foot section when you need more separation between the antenna base and surrounding hardware. Both sections are built to the same fiberglass construction standard and mount the same way onto a compatible Galaxy series antenna base. If you are unsure how much extra height you need, measure the clearance between your current antenna mount and the nearest obstruction (hardtop, tower, radar arch) and select the section that gives adequate clearance with some margin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shakespeare Antennas","offers":[{"title":"1'","offer_id":49049029017819,"sku":"SHA-5228-1","price":87.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2' x 1\" Dia, White Fiberglass","offer_id":49049029050587,"sku":"SHA-5228-2","price":100.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41cSJPdOhYL_3c3fda64-39bd-4dcd-a99e-c3d60d391231.jpg?v=1785448766","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shakespeare-galaxy-antenna-extension-mast-available-in-1-to-2-sections","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
