[StartQuote] I see the "Know Your PT Boat" booklet says not to touch it. Antenna.- ....On patrol, it is ordinarily best to use maximum height.... Another thing-lookouts take notice-never touch the antenna, especially in damp weather. During a transmission, it is a veritable powerhouse. No transmissions or receptions can be carried out successfully while you are in contact with the antenna. Brace yourself with the hand rails provided and not with the antenna. I know the antenna can be disconnected with the antenna disconnect knife switch when it is not being used to reduce the risk of lightning blowing up the radio. You can see the disconnect knife switch just to the right of the radio in the photo of PT631 charthouse.
