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.
