Just remember that a radar sends out radio waves, and any metal in front
of it will cause part of your radar signal to be bounced back to your
radar. The metal mast and rigging may not obscure your radar display
(an empty "shadow area"), but some of that energy will be bounced right
back and can either cause interference or even damage to your radar's
receiver. All the more reason not to use a 4 kw system.


Unless his ketch is very long indeed, any echo energy from the mast
will arrive and depart while the antenna is closed.
