Antenna pedestal

A pedestal is provided for mounting a portable antenna onto a platform. The pedestal includes a ring, a base, a horn and a prong composed of three-dimensionally printable composite resin. The ring attaches to the platform. The base inserts into the ring and includes an outer tube having a pair of axially distributed outer holes. The horn includes an inner tube for insertion into the outer tube and an inverted pyramid that connects to the inner tube. The inner tube includes at least three axially distributed inner holes. The prong has two probes that insert into the outer holes and two of the inner holes to secure the horn to the base.
