Greetings,
OK, so I've stepped my mast and will be making a cradle to hold it in place in a horizontal position in an effort to lower our air draft. Problem is, the mount the open array radar is on still sticks about 3' above the mast (2' above the next lowest part of the FB). Would it be possible to switch that mount to the back of the mast and still have the radar function when the mast is in the upright position? Meaning, when the radar is on, it will be "shooting" through the wooden mast (about 5"wide with the masthead light wire in the middle of the hollow mast). Any loss of definition/signal and how significant might that be?
Thanks in advance.
