I would like to use a light weight half-wave antenna,
possibly something similar to a METZ which has a 34-inch whip and matching coil base, and mount this atop a 4-foot extension on my 22-foot power boat. The problem with the METZ antenna is that it does not look like it will mount on the usual fiberglass extension mast, unless you use some sort of C-shaped adapter. Any suggestions for an antenna similar to the METZ which can mount atop a 4-foot extension and screw into the fitting on the extension? My interest in this arrangement is to permit the base of the antenna to be elevated at least four feet above the mount. Using a typical 8-foot antenna puts most of my signal right into my helm station, due to the location of the antenna mounting base. I'd rather not move the base, just elevate the antenna. The 4-foot extension plus 4-foot fiberglass antenna combination will probably be too heavy for the mount to handle, and that is why I am looking for something like the Metz--less weight aloft. |
