I see the company that made the original hamstick is gone. Is anyone
else making them now? Or similar?

Lol - know the overkill counterpoise thing all to well. On the last boat my
wife and I ran enough copper to open a mint. High hopes for the KISS
counterpoise which I hear nothing but good things about. We’ll see. Probably
should have just gone with the ham-sticks!

I have an Icom 706 on my boat with rail mounted ham sticks. Rail is grounded to
keel as a counter poise. Jerry. WA2YMR. C&C 27V.

I have an m710 which I used on ham frequencies to hook up to winlink stations via
pactor III and get grib file and email. My tuner is AT-130. My antenna is an
insulated backstay. My counterpoise was an overkill. I glassed in 100' of 6"
wide copper tape along the inside of the hull. In the lazarette, and as many
compartments as feasible. I bonded it to all other metal like toerail, stanchions,
etc, and setup few capacitors to bridge the copper foil to the keelbolt. While
cruising in the carribean, I was connectig to stations as far as Ohio, Nova Scotia
and Panama. I haven't used the setup in a while as I'm mostly bound to coastal new
England.

Very close to getting my ham rig running on Paws. This was a zero budget
project with parts accumulated over the past few years. Ended up with an Icom
706 that that I bought used from a co-worker, a narrow pass filter from a swap
meet and a KISS counterpoise which I have high hopes for. Finally added an
AH-4 tuner which they are giving away right now. Will rig a temporary longwire
antenna which I will make permanent over the winter if successful. Looking
forward to indulging my other hobby. Fun stuff!
