To read a review of the Bristol 39 in Practical Sailor, copy and paste the below URL in to your browser:
Bristol 39 - 4 Winds has a thin 3’ x 2’ copper panel fastened to her bottom just forward of the keel, the purpose for which is described as :
The flat copper is often used for what is known as an antenna counterpoise. The copper acts as a substitute for earth or ground as part of an antenna system. It's unique to wire or whip antennas, and is a necessary component for the antenna to be effective. Basically the counterpoise allows the antenna to “see” an image of itself, effectively reflecting and transmitting the radio signals. Without an effective counterpoise of ground plane, the SSB antenna will not function. If the counterpoise doesn’t have adequate exposed copper surface area, then the range of the SSB will be greatly affected. This is a case where more exposed surface area is always better.
