Help needed with ID of Radar Arch cone

[sprocker]

Can anyone help with identifying what the taller item on the starboard side of my radar tower is please?

The only markings that I can make out are 'cone-X'.

a wild guess, tv aerial.

That was my thought also. I have been trying to convince SWMBO it is anything BUT a TV aerial.....Looks like she will get her wish of TV aboard on this boat.

Iridium sat phone antenna?

Possibly "Glomex"? They make TV antennas.

The size and shape resemble a high-grade GPS or a satcomms antenna, but I guess these are rather less likely than the telly

Good spot! I'll take the steps tomorrow and see if I can make it out more clearly.

I've got a Glomex TV aerial and your antenna definitely ain't one of 'em, they're pancake shaped. I think yours is for a sat phone. Try a Google image serach for "marine iridium antenna" and you'll see lots like it.

It's a TV antenna quite common on Italian boats a few years ago

The boat is Italian and Glomex do have similar shaped antennae​, so that could be problem sorted.

Thankyou everyone!

Glomex tv
We have one .They come with a signal booster - that will be inside ,behind a cupboard some where ,it needs 12v or 24 v to power it up , as well as coaxal in /out . Most likely place is near where the obvious place a TV could be fitted .
May be worth googling same make /year of your boat and trying to spot any interior TV,s
