However, if you lose your mast you lose your antenna and if you put it up there your putting a pound or so at the end of a 30 foot lever arm which isn't good for boat stability if you want to stay light.
On Wildthing we used to have a stern pushpit mounted antenna which I just removed along with the radio in favor of a waterproof handheld model (standard horizon) and an earpiece. That was 3 years ago and so far so good (In the bay I listen more than talk... talking is for cell-phones). If I were to go back to a fixed radio I'd put it back on the rear push-pit stanchion if racing, if doing offshore or non-racing I'd put one on the mast with a backup on the stern.
