Joe,
My antenna is the Glomex V9125. It came as a kit, packaged with 50' of cable
and a Gain Control box. The box can be wired to 12 or 24 volts, but I can not
find a model number. I have not yet needed to turn it on since the reception
has been strong. We left yesterday for a 5 month cruise up and back the US
East Coast. My response is slow as we are depending on WIFI availability.
Hope this helps.
Ted

Hi Ted,
One last question. Did you use a power booster for
the antenna, and if so do you know that model number as well. In looking at
their stuff it appears a booster can be an option to any of their
units.
Thanks again

Joe,
Here is the link to the company. I was
fortunate in that their warehouse is only 30 minutes north of my house,
here in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

Again,
we are very pleased with the reception.

Hi Ted,
Glad you completed the TV cable
installation. Would you tell me where you purchased the Glomex 10"
antenna. I can only fine a 14" model.

Pulling new antenna wires in mast
I have successfully completed this
project. Thanks to all for your ideas.
I took
apart the mast light and attached 5 strands of 80 lb. test
monofilament. My wife pulled the mast light wires down
to the base of the mast where we had freed the black hose
exposing the wires. I then pulled the mast wire to the
top and re-wired the light, as this was the immediate
priority.
One at a time, we used one strand of
mono to pull the VHF antenna wire through. It was snug
at the bottom as the wire was pulled through the exit
nipple. We then pulled the TV antenna wire through after
smearing the end with silicone lubricant. This made the
second antenna wire pull through much easier. The exit
nipple is full now.
I mounted a Glomex 10" TV antenna
at the top of the mast and the reception is great.
We are able to pick up TV stations from West Palm Beach that
my house antenna, located 25 miles closer, does not pick
up. The sailboat is on a mooring in Key
Biscayne.

Try using a short length of bicycle
chain attached to a some strong
thin line. The
chain will help pull it down and makes fishhing it
out
the bottom easier.
