If the antenna is not fully erected, what may occur?

When the antenna is not fully erected, signal interruptions may occur due to improper alignment or positioning. Antennas are designed to capture and transmit signals effectively, and their performance heavily relies on being in the correct orientation and elevation. If the antenna remains in a partially erected position, its ability to receive or send signals may degrade significantly, leading to unreliable communication and potential gaps in surveillance or tracking capabilities.

Power failures, control panel malfunctions, and audio feedback loops typically stem from electrical or technical issues unrelated to the physical state of the antenna's position. Therefore, while those options may involve other operational problems in the system, the direct impact of an improperly erected antenna is most accurately reflected in the potential for signal interruptions. This highlights the importance of ensuring that all components of the system, including the antenna, are correctly set up to maintain optimal functionality.
