Thank you!

I know you guys are talking non-pressurized here, so this is just for completeness.

For the pressurized birds, I'm told the roof of the cabin would require a DER approval for any additional holes in the pressure vessel. I don't think that's a big deal but does add some expense (and time?) to the install.

A guy that used to work at Aspen told me they like to put them towards the rear of a boom so they can run wires thru existing holes and just redo the sealant-- thus avoiding any changes requiring DER approval. I've never actually seen one done this way, but then this was a recent conversation and I've never looked.

Aspen RSM’s should be like a minimum of 24 inches apart. I am really surprised that this system is working for you

Yep, it is working well.
