Same antenna but mounted at the rear end of the boom.\n>\n> 3. Vertical Yagi, elements parallel to a vertical mast, mounted at the\n> center of the boom. I guess, non-conductive wold be required here.\n>\n> 4. Same antenna but rear mounted.\n>\n> 5. Horizontal Yagi, elements perpendicular to a vertical mast, mounted at\n> the center of the boom. I think this is pretty normal install, so a\n> conductive mast would be okay?\n>\n> 6.
