[TowerTalk] 2m yagi installation

Hello to all,

I am installing a 2m yagi for local nets/emergency ops onto the top of
my stack and would like to mount it vertically for proper polarization,
but am wondering if the metal mast will interfere with it's properties?

Should I try to change over to a fiberglass mast above the beam or does
the polarization really matter with 2m after a short distance?
