Pair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/freedom-spike-ground-mount-kit\"\u003eFreedom Spike\u003c\/a\u003e to lock down the base of your mast, add support higher up when your antenna calls for it, and guy from the very top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlip the rings on as you extend the mast. Each one slides down and stops on its own at the section it's sized for. No clips, no hinges, nothing to snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🔑 Why Guy the Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ground spike holds your mast in place, but on its own it acts like a hinge. With something hanging off the top, the mast can lever against the spike, pry itself up, or break the mount. Three short guy lines at the base ring spread that load out so it isn't all sitting on the spike, and the mast stays put when it's fully extended with a load on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuying higher up is a different job. That's about keeping the mast from bending, and where you want it depends on what you're putting up there. That's why the kit gives you more than one height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📏 What Each Ring Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhere it sits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOTA20-1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 in (1.3 ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe base ring.
