I trailer a H260 and need to find a short VHF antenna that can remain permanently attached to mast and not get in the way. All the one's I've seen are at least four feet long. I've got enough problems stepping and unstepping the mast without the antenna getting in the way. Suggestions for alternate location?

I use

on my 260 hunter a Shakespeare model 5215 USBoats item # 307143 on a small platform that I made out of SS steel about a foot down from the top of the mast. The total length for the antenna is 36 inches so the antenna is about 2 feet above the top of the mast. The SRW (standing Wave Ratio) is about 1.2 so it works great. I also keep on board an emergency VHF Antenna USBoat item 307017. Happy Sailing John Baums Rush

John, does the antenna get in the way of the Windex? How do you run the cable?
