Make mast into folded monopole for SSB?
It would seem that a 40+ foot aluminum mast with a grounded bottom
just calls out for a wire from its top, parallel to it, down to a deck-level feedpoint with a tuner. Does anyone have any experience trying to do this? Was it any better than the typical weakening of your backstay with insulators? (I have a B&R rig, so I don't even have a backstay, anyway. With my very full roach main, I don't think a copper pseudobackstay will fit, either.) Fair winds Al s/v Persephone |
