You guys should see how well a Butternut HF9VX vertical ham antenna
works clamped to the handrail of the flight deck of the USS
Yorktown (CV-10) in Charleston Harbor....one of the "World's
Largest Ground Planes".

Her call is WA4USN, thanks to Senator Thurmond. The base of the
antenna is about 80' off the harbor surface.
