Scott:

Here's the list:

I think you already said you had a crimping tool, but the rest should give 
you an idea of what else to order, depending upon the type of coax you plan 
to use.

Again, you want to talk to Joel at The RF Connection, and tell him I 
referred you to him so he knows we are trying to give him business in 
response to  all his great help.



The phone number for The RF Connection is (800)  783-2666.

Regarding the mast issue, I went through those sorts of decisions about a 
year and a half ago.  I have two suggestions for you:



1.  Check out the Channelmaster types of masts.  You can get both telescopic 
and single-piece masts.  The trick is to find a dealer in your area, but a 
google should help you there.



and



2.  Don't forget about Radio Shack.  They still sell sections of mast that 
are very useful and durable.
