What is the size (diameter) of the unused pin at the masthead, intended for a backstay, on my Hunter 33 (2004)? I wish to make an attachment (end of a ham radio longwire)

One would assume it is the same size as the forestay fitting.
Having said that it is only becessary to check (or read from mfr's data) the forestay wire diameter and thus locate the size of fitting that is swaged on to that.

Anyway it is sure to be greater than 1/4" which should be plenty for an aerial.

Thanks - I am not worried about ability to hold antenna, just want to make sure I have a big enough shackle before going up...
