===Mast===

The mast consists of the six radios mounted atop a piece of conduit, with an ethernet run through the middle of the mast, and out the bottom. On one end, drill two 1/2" holes in a vline, one XX inches from the end, and another XX inches from the end. The top hole will be for the ethernet cables going to the NSM2s, and the bottom will be for the NSM5Ls. XX inches from the bottom, drill two 1/2" holes in a horoizonal line, with about 3/4" between the two. Now run 11' sections of uncrimped ethernet cable through the mast. Cables that enter through the same hole should exit through the same hole. Use two red cables and one black per hole. The black cable will carry power and data. The red cables will cary only power. You might use fish tape or string, and a bent wire hanger to make the process go quicker. Once the cables are through, crimp both ends.

Ziptie the radios to the mast, and plug in the cables. Mount the mast on the tripod, and run the cables down around the tripod. You'll need to do the same for the two ethernet bundles as you did for the power cord. Carve away the lip of the closure, but the leave the weather stripping. Plug everything in, and you've got yourself a FreedomTower!
