[Public-list] SSB -- on Alberg 30

[Trevor Reiff]

Hello,
Recently I purchased a Icom M710 SSB radio for our A-30 (Osprey).  Of 
course our  primary concern is grounding, I was wondering how well the 
cast iron ballast would work, or does the keel need to be lead? If this 
wouldn't work, I could ground to (2) new 11/2" bronze seacocks I 
installed for the cockpit drains, and continue to run the copper foil 
inside the bilge and back to the tuner mounted below the backstay.  
Anyway, I have searched around for a while trying to see if any fellow 
A-30 owners have installed a SSB but couldn't come up with anything.  
Thanks for any help.
Regards,

Trevor Reiff
