Abstract: In one example, a system for use with an antenna assembly is described. The system may include a mast having a first end configured to be coupled to a mount and a second end configured to be coupled to the antenna assembly. A bulkhead connector may be disposed within an inner bore of the mast, wherein the bulkhead connector includes a biasing member moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein the biasing member is biased to the first position and moveable to the second position when urged by a force. The system may further include a mount including a mount connector configured to mate with the bulkhead connector, wherein the bulkhead connector is in the first position when mated or unmated with the mount connector, and wherein the bulkhead connector is in the second position when being partially mated or being partially unmated from the mount connector.
