Are there any ham radio operators who have installed equipment vhf or hf on their boats? I recently got a 2004 Vista 268 and was considering how I would install radios and antennas any ideas or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks, NJ5N Chris |

I'd like to, but haven't gone as far as getting my ticket yet. Actually i had the VHF handheld on the boat for the first time last weekend and my wife wanted the noise turned off  - so that may have been a message.
I *did* just finish up with a complete restoration of my 1977-vintage D-104, however  (I'm the original owner).

Well I sometimes have the same comments from my wife she does not even like the Sirius or FM radio while we are on the lake but I do. We manage to work it out with a little of both. I think working the ham bands could be fun while anchored out on the lake. I will work something out in the near future just need to work out antenna mount and how I want to power it. Really want to work the HF bands which gives you the opportunity to work the world on cw or digital modes. Thanks for the response, Chris |

Not ham but I'm looking to put a wifi antenna up on the arch. I'm wondering if anyone knows a source for some sort of bracket that'd allow using a regular ratcheting marine antenna mount with an antenna that uses an N-male (or N-female) type of connector. It really wouldn't have to be much more than a pair of suitably sized holes and a nut spun down on the marine mount. But it'd be nice to have one in a Z or U shape to raise it up a bit to better allow the cable to move freely underneath. Anyone seen such a thing? I'd prefer to get one ready-made for the marine enviroment, if just to make sure it's coated such that it wouldn't corrode and end up discoloring the gelcoat on the radar arch. |
