ais vhf antenna mounting
i was thinking of mounting my ais vhf antenna on the forward face of the mast. there is currently at sat radio antenna at this location (about 30ft/10m above deck) and i don't require it.

would being near, and immediately in front of, the mast degrade the ais performance significantly? the ais is a class b transponder (i.e. not just a receiver)

thanks
