Hello, I am redoing my antenna system. I will be putting up a 2MCP14, 436CP30, a small camera and some kind of 1.2 beam. Anyone using the M2 FGCB60 Heavy Duty Fiberglass Crossboom Kit. How do you like it? Any other options? When I get it should I coat it with anything to weather proof it. The sun is bad in south Florida.
