I am installing a new Icom 802 and a At-140, also have a Shakespeare 23' SSB antenna... got the entire rig new in the box for $ 1000.00.
In the past I have used foil connected to a ground plate and connected it to the engine block also. I was under the impression that to help balance the antenna I needed a bigger counterpoise than just the antenna and the tuner. As far as the SSB lighting led's, florescent lights.. making autopilots go wonky I thought they all did that!.
I can connect copper foil to the big steel fuel tanks I just hate running foil all over the place.
