So... probably not over the horizon? Having set up comms gear for 'white boats' I can tell you that the altitude of either party (sailboat mast and cell tower in my case) extends the distance a straight-ish line (line of sight) can connect the two. If I'm on the right track here, I'd guess the intention is to put these in AWACS or similar.
Pretty cool to know about - and this was definitely not on my radar (see what I did there?) Thanks!
