No the mast is not metal, the mast is a "tepee pole". The Pole is 28 ft long, and it is mounted on my deck on the 2ed story. (the pully is brass).

I still need to play with the loop a bit, I need to add a few inches. I am X=0 and R= 47-52, and the swr is 1.9, 2.4 ish, I would like to get 1.1, 1.2 at 27.555 but time will tell. My roof is all metal as well.

In a few days I should be getting my Sirio 2016, I will be putting it on the top of the mast, about 5 ft higher on pvc to the mast. I will keep the pully on for diploe and other wire antennas.

I am going to put up 2 dipoles. one for 11 meters and one for 45 meters.(6670lsb).
