The antenna is designed to provide satellite coverage even when
the vessel has pitch and roll movements up to 15°. To maintain
this coverage the antenna should be free from obstructions in the
area down to 15° below the horizon. Since this may not be possi-
ble in the fore and aft directions of the vessel, the clear area can
be reduced to 5° below the horizon in the fore and aft directions
and 15° below the horizon in the port and starboard directions.
Any compromise in this recommendation will degrade perform-
ance.
