Maintenance/Repair Details: Having installed a new VHF radio and antenna in July 2022 it became obvious during the following months that the whip spring antenna that I installed was not up to the job of maintaining adequate communications with other vessels or shore bases.
As such, as a birthday present, my wife supplied a more fitting replacement which has duly now been installed.
Also installed a Nebo Link onboard which now fully automates our online logging system, enables us to monitor onboard battery levels plus a few other security features. Check out the link.
Parts and/or Items Used: New 1.5m 3db Antenna.
