Can anybody assist? The current position of my back-stay insolater is at above head height which means that I need to keep the SSB cable away from the stay by the use of plastic tubes. I understand the burns risk when transmitting.
However would it not be easier to have the insolater at the bottom of the stay attached to the hydraulic ram, with a tube on the stay above the insolater for burn protection?
Better opportunity for maintenance, less joints in the rigging, less cost.
Any experiences or thoughts.
