so is there any experience out on a handy antenna? i do have the KAT1
too, so hope that will help. I've got a non insulated backstay, and of

perhaps just a simple old justinverted v?
If you have access to a ground (I'm not a sailor so I don't know how the boat is
constructed, whether it's likely to have a metal surface in contact with the
sea), then it would be hard to beat a simple vertical wire. Unlike the inverted
V, it would provide very good low-angle radiation over the saltwater ground.
