Dave I have used dipoles suspended from a flag halyard. One leg to the bow
and the other to wherever you can get it. 20 meters and above are easy to do
and relatively short to fit the length of the boat. On my own boat, I use a
108" fiberglass whip on the stern rail fed with the AH-4 mounted right next
to it.

> Batteries for power, just need advice re a simple HF antenna??? Short time
