I would like to add a WiFi/cellular antenna. I see three options...
1) screw/rivet a mount to the mast (such as: 4366-R Stainless Steel Mast Mount Shakespeare Marine Antennas or https://glomex.us/portfolio-items/v9173/ which is similar to my TV antenna mount),
2) find a mount like the one my spotlight is mounted on to bolt onto the existing tab opposite the spotlight (can't find anything like this but maybe the antenna should be higher up for optimal signal, especially because we have a large tide swing and the extra couple feet might make a difference),
3) some how extend the mount at the top of my mast where my wind transducer and VHF antenna are, either adding +1 to either side, or even both sides (probably not to the side of the wind transducer as it may cause it not to work).
Looking for additional options or thoughts on the above 3 options. Short of riveting a mount to my mast or having something custom built, any one have any ideas on a pre-made mount that can be used in conjunction with options 2 or 3 above? How hard is it to rivet? Can most electronics installers do it?
