The Idea is that the antenna has to be 23 feet long including the gto15 wire from your auto antenna tuner. If by any chance there is someone on the foredeck when you are transmitting and touches the shroud or even the wet sail does things will turn ugly if not deadly.

What about using the upper stay (no spreaders involved)for the antenna? Seems it would be more vertical but what about stresses imposed on the insulators? Seems like they would be less given rig wire sizes.
