[C320-list] Wifi

[Greg Flanagan]

Ken,

I use cellphone service but at an anchorage I run an antenna up the mast with my spinnaker halyard. I have standard coaxial cable 50ft attached and connect this to  a cellphone single booster inside the cabin. I also have a light line attached to the halyard hitch  (not  to the antenna) and I have to pull the antenna forward away from the (metal) mast with this line and attach it to the pulpit for best reception. Works well in remote places.
