VHF Antenna Installation
The quality and positioning of the antenna are the most important factors
dictating AIS performance. It is recommended that a VHF antenna with
omnidirectional vertical polarization be specifically tuned for marine band.
Since the range of VHF signals is largely decided by line of sight distance,
the VHF antenna should be placed as high as possible and at least 5
meters away from any constructions made of conductive materials.
