HF installation
Starlink and Iridium are posing a thread to this old but still very useable technology. We have a Starlink onboard and this covers 99% of our comms. I do not want to be reliant on a guy named Musk and if it becomes too expensive I want options. I opted for an HF installation. Together with Sailmail this is a great backup system to sat comms.
You can find a TPU seal for your insulated deck throughput. You will also find some brackets to mount a HF antenna with some distance to your backstay using standard electrical conduit. I have also added a Mic holder for the ICOM HM-36.
Disclaimer
My models are always tested on my own boat. We are currently cruising to the Caribbean and you can therefor assume that we load up the part properly. It is however your own responsibility to use these parts when heading out to sea. Use common sense and print spares if you are not able to print onboard. Especially on longer passages.
Remix
Please remix however you like. If you are not able to design your own parts I do offer a modification service to those in need. A contribution for my effort is however expected. Send me a message on Noforgeinland and I am sure we will figure something out.
