In which part of the world are you? In the Netherlands there are some web shops that sell these. Whether they ship to foreign addresses I don't know.

What sort of mast do you want?

Permanent or temporary?  And where do you plan to install it?

And what will you attach to it?

Maybe a long aluminium pole is the best solution.  You don't need a special mast for 1090 MHz.

That's what I have.

It's a 1090 MHz and airband antenna.

Hello,
I have found a 6m mast and the CLF-400 cable.
Now I would like to know what are you using to "protect" your 1090 antenna ?
Are you using any amplifier ?
Thx for your help

Amplifier doesn't offer any "protection".

In my experience, storm damage normally comes via the electric supply or phone line.  I don't use any "protection" other than stopping the salt air damaging the connector and antenna by using self-amalgamating tape.
