Hi,
Looking for some opinions on operating a FT-857 with the FC-40 dockside portable. After reading the June issue of QST and reading 'A Portable Inverted V Antenna' article, I am thinking of modifying it. My plans are to change the antenna from the inverted V to a loop and then use the water for the ground. My other choice may be to use the triadic on the sailboat, but since I plan to operate on the dock, I am worried about the stress which would be placed on the patch cables to the rig. Also by using the loop it would also allow for more portable operations in the future. Any help would be appreciated.
