What this video covers

Sven Yrvind receives marine AIS antennas from Avionics, a supplier located in Henorn on the island of Orust, Sweden, who sent them at no charge after a phone call.0:26 Each antenna measures 1.2 meters.1:20 The plan is to mount them inside fiberglass bow and aft masts rather than externally, keeping them protected from the elements.2:00 Yrvind demonstrates how the forward antenna fits inside the mast cavity, with the cable routed through the structure and up.2:15 He intends to run two antennas as redundant systems — if one fails, the other continues operating — following a double-sink philosophy for critical electronics.1:05 His one concern is moisture: the forward installation will be in a wet area, and he notes he may need to add some protection for the cable entry.3:00 Petter is credited with work on the installation.3:05
