Many thanks Chris and others (both on and off the reflector) for the advice re antenna mounting. I should be able to do better than inches above the awning, but 3-4ft is probably the best I can do. And it sounds as if that should meet my needs. Steve, K8JQ On 3/9/2016 11:05 AM, Chris

I'd worry a little about muiltipath when a satellite is in the exact "wrong" place in the sky. But on the other hand the awning is below the horizon as seen from your antenna's location. You could improve the situation a lot by using a taller mast. Can't you another section of pipe and get it

Hi Which way does the awning face? Are there any obstructions between the antenna and the horizon? The problem is that something large , flat and metallic makes a pretty good reflector at microwaves. Your awning is many wavelengths on a side, so it will act as a reflector. If you have an

I have a GPS antenna mounted along side of a mast. The antenna might be similar to the one you have. I used a dual clamp, clamps two pipes together, and the antenna screwed to the 2nd length of pipe. The coax runs down the inside of the little pipe. It has been mounted up like that for a year
