Got that. Actually, I was responding to Wayne, who I know has a spouse of
similar ethnic background as mine.

Wayne ... you have my deepest .... well, Mrs.E. still lurks here .....

Whoops - sorry - got carried away.

My bad.



She's downstairs on her own computer. I am expecting a major "event" any
minute now.

Just trying to help. Maybe you should read up on transmission line
theory.

Must be a new EE college grad. As Harry would say .... Y-A-W-N

Eisboch

EE U of Illinois, 1962. And from what I've read of your posts here, I
thought you were and intelligent individual.... Y-A-W-N.

Well, see ... you went to the wrong school.

Sorry you don't approve. In my next life I'll try to do better.

Heh. We were there once. Isn't your wife also Italian?

Yes indeed, and she loves Paris, spent her junior year of college near
there.

Look. I am not trying to deny the theory that is taught in school. I am
simply relating to many years of theory vs. practical experience that is not
taught in school. At marine VHF wavelengths at 25 watts the difference
between 50 ohms, 52 ohms or 72 ohms of characteristic impedance of the
transmission line is a none event in terms of transmission or reception
capacities. If you can prove otherwise, please do so.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I have fooled around with ham radio since
1955 and actually that's where all of my "practical" experience with
antennas has been derived.

If you guys are happy with the results that you are getting, that's all that
counts.

Sorry to have interfered.

Obviously, she does not share your internet connection.

If you really want to avoid drilling a larger hole to accept a premade
connector, snake it around the bottom of the console using zip ties to
secure it to the deck in the corners. Your going to have to do it at
some point anyway, why not keep it out of the way, made it tidy and
neat and you will never know the difference.

Out of curiosity, what kind of antenna and mount is it?

Thanks for all the good advice. The antenna is a used Comrod AV-51.
I don't have the mount yet. Going shopping tomorrow. I will probably
get a nylon mount with a lever that I can attach to the railing. I
need something that I can fold down so that the boat fits in the
garage.

Also a question on your E-TEC. Is that oil leaking out of the air
breather at the top of the cowling? That's unusual.

I don't know what that was. If it was 2 stroke oil, it may have been
some spilled by the riggers??? There is no leakage anywhere under the
cowling. I thought maybe it was some kind of oil from when it was
shipped. Been running her just about every weekend since late March.
Good motor.
