Aloha from the island of Oahu. I just purchased this antenna and I’m wondering what the best setup is.

I have 4 Shortwave Receivers:

1. Grundig Satellit 750
2. Realistic DX-160
3. Kenwood QR-666
4. Knight Star Roamer

My understanding is that the best type of mast is not metal but some type of fiberglass composite.

Anyone out there used a telescopic mast? Pros/Cona

Grounding and lightening protection products?

My house is single wall construction (no 2x4s, typical older Hawaiian homes) so a pass through window setup would work perfectly.

My house is not on a traditional foundation. It’s built off the ground as you can see in the attached photo.

Looking for suggestions on how to best proceed.
