Back in October 2014, I reported that I built an HF Dipole antenna for my boat. Since then, the web page with the details was no longer available. I contacted the owner of the information, Bill Trayfors WA6CCA and asked if I could make a web page and put it on my site with his data. He was very gracious and now I have the page done. It will be checked, rechecked, fix, modified, etc... Basically is it a living page.

Please give it a look-see and if there is anything you see terribly wrong, please let me know.

Thanks

You mean in the first sentence "The purpose of this page is to bring to the cursing sailor ..."

I just remember when I got my ticket, no cursing allowed. :yikes:

Otherwise, very informative.

Hey, Sully... The band never seems to be open when I am on the boat. I have checked into the MMSN a few times from the boat, but signals where not booming. So, it that is any indication that it works, then it works. LOL One day I will have to strongest signal on the entire ham bands, but not today. LOL
