I have had a Kenwood TS-440 and an SGC tuner for my backstay antenna aboard
Coquina since about 1994.
I am not a fan of the hamsticks for anything below 20 meters. The losses in
the antenna are huge for the lower frequencies.

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

I have an Icom 706 on my boat with rail mounted ham sticks. Rail is grounded

Lol - know the overkill counterpoise thing all to well. On the last boat my
wife and I ran enough copper to open a mint. High hopes for the KISS
counterpoise which I hear nothing but good things about. We’ll see. Probably
should have just gone with the ham-sticks!

I see the company that made the original hamstick is gone. Is anyone
else making them now? Or similar?

Very close to getting my ham rig running on Paws. This was a zero budget
project with parts accumulated over the past few years. Ended up with an Icom
706 that that I bought used from a co-worker, a narrow pass filter from a swap
meet and a KISS counterpoise which I have high hopes for.
