T&T: Radar reflector mounting

[Candy Chapman and Gary Bell]

Bob asked:

I have a radar reflector that was installed by the PO 
http://tinyurl.com/2zdq64

I now have radar and a new mast with the radome on it 
http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-aboardbobbinalong ,  and I don't know where 
I should remount the reflector.....or should I use it at all?  Wouldn't it 
cause interference with the newly installed radar?


Gary replied:

Try to get directly below, or even better directly above the radome.  
The emissions from the radar are almost entirely in a horizontal plane, 
so whatever is outside this plane is OK, and if it is to be on the same 
mast that means directly above or below.
