Don’t most satellite dishes take a 2” mast now? From: Mathew Howard Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2015 9:33 AM To: af Subject: Re: [AFMUG] anyone know where to get the 25" j-mounts UMXL that streakwave carries?
Can you get the Dish network masts without being a Dish dealer?

I have not seen a problem with the finish wearing, and we're in acid rain territory....I think Luthman is too actually. For dishes, I liked the ones from the Dish Network supply chain. The Dish 500 mast was the same price as skywalker but beefier. For real ruggedness, the Dish Network 1000.4 has a larger pan so the masts available for that are all very burly.

I have already had three service calls from them bending out of alignment in wind, and the thin powder coating is already turning to rust after only one year. Plus they all have big ugly yellow warning stickers on them.
