That's a fairly odious boat antenna..could you run it without the ground
plane radials, and use the water for a counter-poise? That would sure
lighten the friggin' wind load a bit.

I was only ribbing ya a bit, Jay. I've been real happy with mine. (not on
my boat)

Hello Stevo:

Yeah there is a few Interceptor 10K Antennas out there as marine
antennas. The fishermen call the CB the Mickey Mouse, but with a good
antenna can make real long contact distances. So some of then have
gotten ham license and talk on 10 meters as it is empty most of the time.
I have gotten reports back on 50 to 60 miles over the water. These guys
are up on 29 MHz simplex FM.
