[Public-List] Radar - self levelling mast mount

[John Birch]

Hi George

Suggest you put it about 1/3 distance below the spreaders. This will give 
you a much better opening between the forestay and mast for tacking the 
Genoa. And you are not really losing any meaningful range for the radar, 
plus you are reducing the top-hamper of the weight aloft considerably.

It will be high enough so you don't bake your brains with the microwaves 
either.

That is where Raytheon suggested I mount mine on my A-37 before I canned the 
whole idea for a while anyway. (Money & power draw were the reasons.)

Just a suggestion anyway

Best

John
