Hello all

My new Sailing vessle (Beneteau 343) is on its way next year and it
will have twin backstays.

I like to listen to SSB and HF comms and have used active antennas
before on board with poor results always picking up more interferance
and timebase etc.

I plan to fit an insulated "wire" (using egg insulators) from the mast
head leadinng down to the transom area and use a a balun near the base
that will connect to the radio.

Can anyone suggest and pros and cons of this kind of setup and suggest
any better setups

Thanks
Franky
