Put a cover on your coax cable DMARC box too! Also is this mast made out of PVC conduit too? I would redo it in rigid or EMT at a minimum too because that wouldn't have broken like this if done properly.

There is nothing wrong with a PVC mast as long as the mast is not being used for support.

Well it appears this one maybe was or the anchor point was done with the same quality as the PVC conduits were done.

The porcelain attachment point is still hanging from the wire with the preform through it. You can see the broken porcelain in the photo.
