  And offers a less comfortable rest place for birds and pigeons... my Z3801A from time to time entered holdover mode 
because of a pigeon that needed a few minutes of relax and my previous (almost flat) GPS antenna looked to it the ideal 
place for that. After changing the antenna with a pointed one (a timing antenna), no more holdovers...
