SSB counterpoise for a catamaran
I'm about to install the SSB ground system in my catamaran. Since I don't
have a lead keel, and my water tank is well above the w/l, seems I might be needing to lay down a lot of copper strips in the bilge. The operators manual suggested that a 3" strip separated 3" from an adjacent 3" strip would be equivalent to a 9" strip. Is this the maximum separation to achieve this phenomonem? If the strips could be 2 feet apart, and still be effective as a 2+ foot wide strip, that would save a lot of time and materials. Probably too good to be true though. But if it did wow, maybe I could lay strips in both hulls, connected together at each end, and have a monster ground plane. Since this probably wouldn't work, what is the most efficient way to make the ground system in a catamaran? |
