I am in the starting phase of installing a new SSB in my O.A.
I have done a bit of research regarding the counterpoise required, in my last couple boats I did bond all the big metals and a sintered bronze underwater plate and got good results ( perfect radio calls between New Zealand and the US ) etc.
Has anyone here actually installed a K.I.S.S. unit for their counterpoise?... and what was your verdict.
Personally after spending copious time replacing all the head hose through the bilge I have no real desire to crawl around running copper tape to everything.
Thoughts?
