The loft aerial here was mounted through the cradle with the pole going
vertically through directors 4 and 5 (IIRC). An end-mount would have
been ok as there would never be any wind force on the aerial.

Out of interest, why does it not appear to matter that the pole goes
through the aerial when fixed by the cradle? Does it not affect signal
reception at all?

I always wondered that and would have tried to avoid doing so if
possible (cradle mount on the very top of a pole and rear mount if
there had to be any others on the same pole)?
