Interference Aloft

Vote 0 Votes

Theory is a wonderful thing, and experience is better. I'm outfitting my yawl and wanted to de-conflict a variety of gear. Concerns are potential interference and damage from other gear.

Both Masts & all standing rigging, seacocks, engine etc are bonded to lead keel as ground in salt water.

SSB HF (ICOM with tuner) main mast insulated backstay antenna ~31 ' long (>7' above deck to ~3' below mast head)

Radar: B&G 4G Freq Mod on leveling mount on Mizzen ~ 15 ' above deck)

Cellular (LTE) booster: Exterior Antenna: Locate above Radar on self leveling, ("interior antenna" in Dodger/companionway)
IP/Analog video Camera under Radar
Wifi (Shore network access) Locate above Radar. on self leveling mount
Wifi (boat network for Ipads etc to MFDs) Ubiquity base in cabin

GPS at stern pulpit on centerline

Not expecting anything to be an issue, due to wide differences in frequncy, am I missing any likely interference?
