Looking at the picture, it looks like there are many sections to this antenna, and that it basically "collapses" each section one into the other. Is this really the case? If so, how tall is the antenna once collapsed? If it is not collapsable, how does each section connect? Thanks.

Jameslarson,

No it was not designed to collapse and each section is assembled per instruction's and held together with a clamp making it 21' tall.

No these antennas are not collapsible. The antenna assembles by sliding each section into the next larger section below it about 4 to 6 inches. Hope this answers your question.
