The system of the present invention is a tilt over mast that is easy to construct from the ground and permits azimuthal adjustments from the ground with the mast elevated to working heights. The system used for calibrating a directional antenna and includes two or more mast sections, namely a base member, a mid member, and a top member. The mid member may be pivotally coupled about the base member at a number of positions. The top member is coupled to an opposing end of the mid member and supports the desired equipment. A method of constructing and operating the system is described.
