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?                                           JA> @MSGID: 1:396/45.0 67278000        -=> jimmylogan wrote to Alexander Grotewohl <=-                      ji> Have a rig at home now!
