Amazing how these threads can deteriorate. I am a long time owner of the BTV series antennas. Very simple. Paint the antenna with non-metallic grey paint. use plastic fasteners to hold a modest size flag and that's all you need. The BTV now resembles a flagpole. Keep in mind that you will need a light on it at night, which is also no big deal.Do it in good taste and if you can get the approval in writing for a flagpole from the HOA ahead of time then even better.
