Have you considered mounting the speaker on the KISS pole or the radar pole?

I've been trying to decide where to mount the hailer. I had wanted to
mount it just above by foredeck light, but after looking at the
dimensions, I don't want to have my tape-drive jib swinging past a 9"+
protrusion on a regular basis, even if there is a guard.
So, I was thinking of mounting the hailer just above the jib box. I
have a 7/8 rig. A person who used to commission Freedoms commented
that he was afriad that this was too high. I would have thought that
the higher, the better as the sound would carry further. Any
thoughts?
=======================
What about hanging it under a mast spreader or mounted on the forward
tip of the bow pulpit?
I don't have spreaders. I have a carbon fiber mast. The bow pulpit was
suggested by someone else, but I'm just worried about having it washed
away
in big seas. On a fairly regular basis the bow gets buried.
