This type of installationwill require only one insulator point on the bottom backstay and an electricalconnection on top of the mast and stay. The grounded side of the coupler isconnected to the bottom of the mast. Although not our best recommendation,this antenna will provide a workable solution in some installations.Figure 5.11Vessel insulated backstayPorcelainisolatorRadiation75 feetVesselinsulatedBackstayGroundconnectionCouplerPorcelainisolatorSGC Inc.
