I´ve installed last year a ham radio on board and did some experiements
to get it work. Main problem was the ground situation. I solved that:
- connect rudder shaft via capasitor to ground
- wire to keel bolt, tanks etc
- laying aluminium sheet on the skin inside in way of engine/Coxkpit
etc, app. 2m²
The aliminium sheets connecting to ground are the effectivst way.
Antenna: aft stay for 80m and 30m
Whip antenna with "reling as radials": 20m, 15m, 10m
best regards
Peter

Ii've not seen the kiss system before. It sounds almost too good to be
true. Has anyone actually used it?

This is always a crazy topic but thought it worthwhile for this group
given the experience level. 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.
No immediate cruising ambitions.
