Can the shrouds be used as a radio aerial ?

13/05/2008 19:08

I am now down in the bowels of my Folkboat "rewiring" everything I can find. " Hera" is full of long redundant wiring, but today I followed back a cable that was attached to a shroud plate ... it looks very much like a radio aerial. Its not the VHF cable as that has been removed from the mast and replaced with new. So can the shrouds be used as an aerial ?
Also anyone know where I can by a "choc block" connector "Maplins" dont seem to have one ?
Another nice day here in Scotty ...but the winds keeping the temp. down.
Mike.

I'm happy to be free as the wind as the wind is tax free, so far.
