Antenna does what it should The antenna is mounted on the masthead as a second VHF antenna for the AIS (it was previously mounted on a solar panel support). The range gain is significant, but this is likely due to the mounting height. The antenna, however, is working as expected.

Easy to install, works well We purchased this antenna because it has the same mount as the one we already had on our masthead. This allowed me to install it with a manageable amount of effort while the mast was still upright, and for a model in this price range, it works surprisingly well.

antenna for AIS Installed on the gantry to have a dedicated AIS antenna. Satisfied after this first season, to see how it holds up over time. A word of advice: choose a quality cable and solder connections.
