I'd go to a dipole in a second if I could figure out a practical
way of implementing it on my boat. Eliminates the whole counterpoise
issue.

Has anybody tried center feeding an insulated backstay - eg using it as a
dipole, perhaps with loading coils or traps - or insulating and top feeding
one or more pairs of shrouds to yield inverted Vs?
