VHF backup

Went to Durham Radio this afternoon and picked up 22 ft of black VHF cable at 0.60$ per foot. I had 2 male  PL-259 connectors that I used on a project from my old boat, Ailsa Craig. I installed each connector according to this article on how to supposedly do them right.

Using an existing VHF bracket and an old antenna from Santeria, I now have a backup antenna and cabling. I also installed a U bolt on the bracket so it can be installed on the top rail of the pushpit. The U bolt is not shown in the picture.
