Re: Connecting SSB antenna to backstay
|
Depends who you ask, I was advised they were not necessary by my installer. However everyone I have seen uses them and they seemed to improve my reception. I think the theory is to keep the aerial wire away from any potentially earthed source to either reduce interference and/or reduce the effectiveness of the insulation. I am sure others will know more than me.
