Hey Roger - Macht nichts on dynamic views... Don't know what it does for your readers. Long as I can see your updates, I'm good. Questions: what spec filters did you put in your SSB? Has it helped? (I realize without making your autopilot work, you may not know.) And what do you use for a counterpoise? Do I remember you trailing 50' of copper wire, or was that somebody else?

ReplyDeleteThe filters are line filters on the DC feed to the transceiver. I really can't tell yet if they did any good.
My counterpoise is my keel. The ground side of the transmitter and antenna tuner is run to the keel bolts. I get a very good tune.
In the early days I raised a dipole on a halyard and dragged 50 feet of copper behind the boat. I most likely told you that story.
