Debbie put on the ICOM SSB antenna wire - 2012

   Debbie put on the ICOM SSB antenna wire up on the back stay. 
She used the “Split Bolt Connector” she purchased at Home Depot.
Debbie also got the antenna cable at Home Depot.
 June 2012 - Currently At Marina Cortez Harbor IslandSan Diego, CA
 She put a loop in the antenna wire where tie connects to the back stay.
It was recommended by the KISS SSB people to leave off the tape as it holds water and just leave it out in the air.
Also they said to just wire tie the ICOM 802 SSB antenna wire to the back stay. No need for stand offs.
 We have seen the antenna wire mounted to the back stay in many different ways. This ay was recommended and seems better than hose clamps and lots of tape. They all seem to work though.
 Debbie ran the wire down the back stay to the cockpit where it sits now. We need to run it through the stern cam cleat where the solar panel wires go into the boat.
