probably want to have a service disconnect terminal block at the base of
the mast if it doesn't already exist. Any existing spade/ring terminals
will probably need to be cut off before pulling the existing cable out.

34-36R with a pretty skinny tall mast…anybody have any experience upgrading the
wind sensor and VHF while the mast is in-place? I need to know if there’s a
