Hello all;
I added a 19" TV to my boat anticipating some cruising in the future. It fits
nicely on the port side forward bulkhead above the settee facing aft. I even
found an ac outlet nearby for power.
I have been advised by locals who have TVs aboard to go with a omni directional
antenna, which makes sense to me, and to mount it outside the cabin.
Most of these antennae are disc-shaped of various diameters, meant to be
mounted with the disk parallel to the water surface.
The question is where to mount it, even if its removable when underway or
racing. The TV is closer to the bow than stern so the bow pulpit might work--I
don't see mounting it high or anywhere on the mast. OTOH, maybe the stern
pulpit would be OK. My thought is to keep it stowed while underway and attach
it to a permanent fitting somewhere outside the cabin when I am at a marina.
Any ideas from listers on where to put the antenna?
