: My boat which is all aluminum makes a great ground plane. On the Xmit/Rec side i'm planning on a 23' whip. As for the DSC REC antenna, can i use a shorter antenna, what options do i have to run a long wire, can i lay it in an insulated surface in a zigzag pattern. Or must it be pulled straight from the balun? You could use another 23' whip away from the transmitter's whip. The receive antenna is not tuned. The 23' whip is naturally resonant around 10 Mhz, so that would be great for the whole HF band, better around 8-12 where most of the receiving is done, anyway. Just ground the shield of the coax to the hull and the center conductor to the whip, isolated from the hull. |
