My son and I have an older 16ft Smokercraft aluminum skiff we use for both freshwater and inshore saltwater fishing. We are trying to find a good radio/antenna combo that will be reliable to 20 miles without having to have a tall antenna. Space in the boat is limited and there is no above water structure to put the antenna on. The antenna is going to be the key. What shorter antennas afford the best transmit/receive range for up to 20 miles using a decent VHF radio?
Any help or suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks George Nochta San Diego, CA
