Thanks, Larry. That's an informative site. --- Ned



Great radio. I have the triattic insulated on both ends near the two
masts and a stainless cable connecting it to the top of the backstay
antenna from its center, forming a capacitor hat for the lower freqs.

I worked Perth, Australia on 20 meter ham band. That should be far
enough from a boat...

NOTE - Get rid of the crap control cable plug on the tuner end of the
control cable! How stupid. Open the tuner and take out the pigtail thru
the stuffing tube in the tuner box. After cutting off the stupid little
plug from the cable, pull the cable thru the stuffing tube and solder the
control wires to the same rings the pigtail was soldered to. The cable
and pigtail use the same color code, so note the colors from the pigtail
leads before cutting them out so you'll have the colors easily. How
stupid to put an OPEN PLUG outside in the weather. Make sure the gasket
is in place before screwing the cover back down tightly. Ours is outside
and doesn't leak a drop!
