and third and fourth openings to secure to an antenna tower base or one or more supplemental outriggers. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising: a substantially rectangular base with approximate bottom dimensions of a standard International Organization for Standardization (ISO) freight container; base locking units at each corner of the base to be secured to a shelter with approximate dimensions of a standard International Organization for Standardization (ISO) freight container. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the frames are secured together with tongue and groove structures on the sides of the frames. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising concrete reinforcement structures in each frame. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising cable runways in the frame. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising an antenna mount with bolts to secure an extendable mast thereon. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, comprising an actuator to elevate an antenna mast. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a plurality of radio frequency entry openings to receive cables to an antenna. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising corner posts disposed at each frame corner to secure the frames. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the shelter is configured to satisfy a stacking test requirement when at least eight similarly dimensioned shelter are stacked on top of the shelter. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a plurality of movable antenna sections adapted to fit inside of the base section, each movable antenna section including an outside section and an inside section, wherein the outside section has a plurality of threaded section locks penetrating through threads on the inside and outside sections to extend at least 0.5 inch beyond the inside section to prevent the inside section from collapsing into the outside section in an extended mode; and a lock pin centrally positioned between the section locks to receive an actuator to extend the antenna section. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein comprising an elastic sheet between the inside and outside section. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the inside section comprises one or more bolts extending through the inside section and contacting the outside section. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a first section extending the antenna system to a height of 87⅜″, a second section extending the antenna system to a height of 164″, a third section extending the antenna system to a height of 244⅝″, a fourth section extending the antenna system to a height of 317¾″, a fifth section extending the antenna system to a height of 415″, a sixth section extending the antenna system to a height of 505½″, a seventh section extending the antenna system to a height of 599¾″, an eighth section extending the antenna system to a height of 697½″, and a ninth section extending the antenna system to a height of 716¾″ in height. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the antenna sections collapsed to a minimum height of 112½″. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the twist lock is spring loaded. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, comprising one or more bolts to secure the twist lock to the outside section. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising additional ballasts with additional outriggers extending therefrom, wherein the outriggers cross-link all ballasts. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The system of claim 18, comprising a first cable securing a tower to the ballast, and a second cable securing the tower to an outermost outrigger. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a first cable securing a tower to the ballast, and a second cable securing the tower to the outrigger.
