SSB ground Plane Option

Tried all the diagnostics - my shroud-mounted antenna is not doing the job. Has anyone used this ?

I don't have direct experience, but I've heard good things about this.

It works but it’s probably the most expensive way of creating an effective counterpoise. To be clear, this isn’t an antenna; it’s a counterpoise for an antenna.

In A/B testing, a good connection to any nearby bronze thruhull can actually be more effective in certain circumstance.

What counterpoise are you currently using?
