Default SSB antenna

Another great improvement when you are cruising is to
keep 100' of small cable attached to the ground terminal of the tuner.
Throw this cable off the stern with a small drag on its open end to make

it
lay out in the sea behind the boat. This makes an AMAZING RF ground!


This must be installation dependent. I tried this and could not tell
any difference between the 100' of cable trailing behind and simply
connecting the ground to a thruhull.
