    It sounds like the downside here would be that you loose reliability in your connection. Probably fine for most things.

      Yeah, you lose reliability. If you put the antenna in a pit it will be limited in its beamforming capability. This restricts the number of visible satellites, leading to situations where no satellites are visible.
