<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">David, Jon, Not sure if it is neutral or not , my guess is that it would be positive. But there would be a buoy on top in any event. I don't think the coiling would be an issue as that would tend to cancel out any RF interference ( not that there would be any) . You could expect about 2.5 db per 100' i think, so you would want to have enough power to overcome the loss. You might be able to put a high gain antenna on the floating antenna and or a signal amplifier at the antenna. </FONT></FONT><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">From: Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To: Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] coms</SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 21:48:04 +0000 (UTC)</SPAN><BR><BR><DIV style="font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><DIV></DIV>
