FM Antenna

I made the FM antenna from styrene rod and scrap plastic.  I made the conduit then the base.  I made the antenna from heat and stretched spur.

LORAN Antenna

The LORAN antenna gave me the opportunity to bring the receiver antenna for the radio gear outside the superstructure.  I drilled a small hole in the deck and fished the receiver antenna through it.  I secured it to the yardarm and removed any slack.  Simple, a LORAN antenna.

Long Range Antennas

I made my long range antennas from brass tubing and rod.  I also made sockets to accept them.  They slip out for transport or storage.
