I'm very chilled about your antennae, so my comments are purely for the "others who follow"

Those look like 6dB fiberglass units? They look great and I considered them for my lady but ruled them out because:

1. 6dB antenna have a "flatter" plane - if the boat rolls (or you wanna look sporty) then you're potentially not going to have as good a TX as with a 3dB unit. Patently this doesn't matter in the Solent - matters for me though! So I went 3dB and only aim for slightly sporty.
2. They're much more likely to fracture and fail.

I like your twin VHF install. I did this too - I think it works extremely well if attending to a pair of channels (with potentially 16 as well)

What's misrepresented him in my post then

Evening Mat856 - afraid this has got cross threaded - they're not referring to your posts but each others/mine. I'll do a wee bit of dusting and leave the field to you...

No no Mat sorry absolutely nothing about your posts or rib. We were both having a go at Willk.

My apologies for any offence there was none intended.
