This amazing Antenna has 1.2 DB
Gain compared to a perfectly installed backstay antenna (and even greater
gain over most not so perfectly balanced Back stays)
Why risk altering your backstay when all you
have to do is to install a RopeAntenna at fraction the price for twice the
performance
No worries about touching it when using the
Radio it is insulated.
Perfect for Catamarans (as they have no
backstays)
The Antenna is sized to suit SSB use, rather
than the length your
back stay happens to be.
The actual Antenna is insulated its whole
length and “floats” inside the Halyard thereby keeping a constant length and
is unaffected by mast movements.
Own one for emergency use - if your mast or
antenna comes down (heaven forbid) and your backstay is gone, deploy the
RopeAntenna to call for help, and be amazed (and thankful) that it works
even better that your dearly departed backstay as it an be used effectively
strung along the deck.
