   Another quick update - told him it would be a week or so before   
   I got around to actually mounting the poles, so he hasn't dropped   
   them off yet.   
      
   I keep an American flag hanging from the front porch. I have thought   
   about moving it to the new pole when I get it mounted. Is it okay   
   to mount a flag BELOW the top of the mast? Below the antenna?
