Reusing Loran Antenna for Marine Radio

[bdrw]

I'm refurbishing my old boat. It has a Loran antenna mount and antenna.

Can a Loran Antenna be used for VHF radio?

Thanks.

No it can not be used it is a much different frequency. The mount it self could be used if you remove the atenna and the coupler.

Get a good VHF antenna like a Shakespears 5225-XT. Quality of the antenna you buy is much more important than the radio.
