Shooting skip

No corrosion to worry about with stainless steel parts

 

Cuz I wanted to. I have changed my mind now about a counter poise. With my 7ft SkipShooter and excellent SWR, I doubt there would be any noticeable improvement. I tried it with a bracket and didn't see any change in the SWR. My set up is pretty efficient as it stands. No more than I use it, I'm well satisfied.

 

Stainless Steels can and will corrode. See http://www.corrosionist.com/Materials_Stainless_Steel_Intro.htm

304 stainless should have no problem of corrosion in an atmosphere without chlorides.
304 stainless is resistant to atmospheric corrosion if chlorides are not present whereas 304 has a low resistance to corrosion in atmosphere with high concentration of chlorides, ie. marine atmosphere, although the minimal amount of atmospheric corrosion over a five year period wasn't enough to affect the electrical or Rf performance.
The brackets my buddy makes are made out of 316 stainless which is even more resistant to corrosion.

 

Far more challenge on am. I talk skip almost on a daily basis on 28am from west Texas. I am, as you say, hooked. lol. Prince Albert in the diesel truck just got down.
