    The rigging on Murphy's Lawyer is grounded, and I took
    my little sony sw-55 and attached from inside the
    cabin through a portlight to a grounded shroud.
    Worked fine, not quite as good as the Tranciever
    through a antenna tuner going to the insulated
    backstay, But a very good boost. Great recpt on a
    couple of bands.
