I have bronze screen about 3x4 feet under the tuner and also tied to a bronze thru-hull. It has worked well for about 10 years now.

Before I start running copper ribbon all over the boat, does anyone have any great ideas for a counterpoise? The boat has plastic thru-hulls and tanks. I could include the the metal holding and fuel tanks and a keel bolt or two. Most interesting, the boat has sail drive - a great big hunk of metal sticking out the bottom of the boat. With sail drives comes all sorts of concerns over electrolysis. Any thoughts? > > This is just to get a ham rig up and running for recreational purposes.
