We had another problem with the installation and had a knowledgeable radio amateur look at the installation on Faial. He solved the problem and also commented that the antenna and ground plane setup worked very well. I installed the ground plane for exactly the same reasons you state and we are happy with it!

We have heard tales of woe regarding RFI which is perhaps not surpising given a ground planes radiating properties but we wondered if anyone within the OCC forum community had experience of this system on a small boat before we commit? All feedback (no pun intended) appreciated. Peter Mills Yacht MOWZERWed, 04 Nov 2015 09:34:06 GMTMowzer
