Yep,
If I pull the duck tape off the hole in the mast, there’s a big nut down there.

the insulation, so I guess I‘m not looking, and you’ll just have to take my
word - I think my keel is still under the boat. . .

Again, it's the measurements and designer that are the critical component.
To me, the fabricator is secondary as long as they have good quality
control.

I wouldn't do that for a boat. I have an RTL-SDR radio and it is fun to play
with. I use it a lot to monitor ADS-B.
It is not a real good radio and very quirky to set up. NO WAY would I trust it
