    That should be plenty. Those antennas will extend about five and a half feet as is, so yours will only go up five feet, two inches. You'll still be able to pull in Tierra delFuego.

    To clarify my previous post, I did not anvil and tap the hollow staff portions, simply hand coaxed them to a straight alignment. Tapping on these will oval them and make it impossible for the higher shafts to descend. I did tap in the solid top shaft; probably why I had to file it for nicks and roundness.
