Yes, it works, I have a M12T running that way. It is an acrylic
or polycarbonate (not sure) dome type skylight.
When I replaced the roof on my house, I had three 1/2" wirepipes installed
over one of the attic windows and had three irons mounted under the tiles
for attachment of antennas:

So now I can just open the window and fiddle with my antennas as much as
I like.
The wirepipes are wide enough that a BNC can be squeezed through.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
