Marine SSB antenna
from Pacific Aerials Long Distance Communications Made Clear and Simple from SailCom Marine |
Marine SSB antenna from Pacific Aerials |
|
Whip antennae
radiate in the vertical plain which is ideal for long range HF communication.
There is also less possibility of radiation getting back into the yacht, which
reduces the effects of onboard interference. SSB whip antennas from Pacific Aerials are lightweight and easy to install on most yachts and give outstanding performance. Pacific Aerials are manufactured in Auckland, New Zealand. They are designed for the tough marine environment. They are truly world-class antennas, innovative and durable.

HF SSB Dynaplates |
Good radio
communications require a good antenna system. SailCom Marine supply ground
plates, copper strip and SSB whip antennas to suit most marine SSB
installations.![]() ![]() SSB Dynaplates |

Ground plates by Guest of the USA A good antenna system requires a good ground, on a yacht this means having a good connection to salt water. On the fiberglass yacht this is achieved by fitting 1 or 2 ground plates. At SailCom Marine we believe in fitting the very best which are Dynaplates made in the USA. |

HF SSB Antennas Accessories |
| Copper strip
should run between the ground bolt on the Dynaplates ground plate to the
antenna tuner (ATU). Easy to fit RF ferrite core blocks. Position it on the cable and just snap the two halves of the block together. Can be reused. Useful for preventing RF currents flowing back onto transceiver chassis, pactor modem, computer etc. Ferrite core 4.9MM/280R for RF coax cables (RG58) and audio & USB leads. Ferrite core 10.0MM/240R for RG213 coax cable or ATU 4 core control. cable Ground DC isolation Grounding isolation bridge is required to stop or reduce electrolysis on boats that have a negative floating DC supply, e.g. negative is not connected to salt water. The bridge blocks DC currents going to salt water via the ground plate. The bridge goes between the ground bolt on the antenna tuner (ATU) and the copper strip. Antenna Cable When transmitting, a very high voltage may be found at the bottom of the antenna. Therefore the cable between the ATU and the whip or backstay need to be a high voltage cable. At SailCom Marine we recommend that EHT 25,000 volt cable is used. The cable we supply is a higher specification than the American GTO15 cable and conforms to BS specification.
