i would start over. for a newbie its going to be frustrating enough even with a plumb pole. you are better than that, why would you want inferior ****? also when you get past your mast issues another thing to not forget is how you tighten your mast clamp. do it evenly. a little each on each bolt at a time. watch your signal as you are doing it. that was one of my mistakes at first. thats my two cents.
