Re: what is a DF mast

I assume your "DF mast" is the support element for a DF (Direction Finding) antenna.

The term mast means a vertical element (an antenna pole or tripod), and DF is shorthand for direction finding.

Normally, a horizontal antenna element rotates atop the mast, and allows one to locate a radio signal by seeking the peak signal strength direction.
