I have a rig that I set up when I stay out on my boat. It consists of a 102" Radio Shack stainless steel whip for my vertical radiator. It goes into a rail mount. I then connect a 102" piece of 1/4" hollow aluminum for a counterpoise. My Rig Expert analyzer tells me that resonance is at 27.501. My lowest SWR is 1.02:1 at 27.465. When you're hanging out on 27.385 LSB any further efficiencies to be gained by additional time spent tweaking would hardly be noticed. Add that to being over the water and I'm having no problems talking locally or shooting skip all over the U.S.
