Re: RG 223U for Iridium Go?

Thanks for all the comments. Given that the antenna housing is made of fibreglass I assume that the radio waves find fibreglass invisible. I could shorten the run by installing the antenna below deck...

Re: RG 223U for Iridium Go?

The supplied cable is 12m LMR400. The RG223U can be cut down to 7m. I feel comfortable crimping the connectors on the 223. Less so on the 400 so unlikely to cut it down from 12m.

Re: How to care for cabin woodwork

Thanks Copacabana.

Seperated question - does anybody have a solution to removing a suncream mark from varnished wood aside from sanding and revarnishing? We have tried vinegar and Murphys.

Re: How to care for cabin woodwork

Do you wipe on neat varnish or dilute it with thinner first? If the latter what ratio? Thanks

Re: Antenna Splitter for HF

Good suggestion - I was reluctant to use the rig as its grounded but did not think of the lifelines which I suspect are not connected to ground.

Re: Antenna Splitter for HF

Thank you for all the advice. I just noticed that the Metz antenna does not go down to the frequency of Navtex so back to square one. Will try some of the suggestions here first.
