Maritime & Amateur Radio Station
Emigre provides a base for maritime mobile HF and VHF communications featuring a range of maritime, commercial and amateur radios including:
-
Barrett 2050 Commercial HF (Pictured)
-
Icom IC-7300 Amateur HF + 6m
-
B&G V90 Marine VHF Radio

Antennas
Whilst a sailboat's mast looks like the perfect solution to HF and VHF antenna placement, in reality, deploying effective antennas is challenging. My current antenna setup consists of:
-
Pacific marine VHF / AIS antenna (at mast top)
-
Rear stay random wire HF antenna fed by Barrett 917 Automatic Antenna Tuner.
-
28Mhz monoband vertical dipole (Temporary installation)
