Just because an antenna can be matched doesn't mean that it is a good radiator. For one thing, the radiation pattern gets very complex at higher freq. Height above ground has a major impact on the

I have a 70' end fed wire, 10' at feed end up to a tree at 25', last 20' sloping down, 9:1 unun, 50' of coax on ground, 26' counterpoise sloping down to and on ground. High SWR 6.7 at 6 meters, most

Jim, thanks for your mentoring. I am going to follow up and report back with the specific data you requested. What I am trying to do here is explore the electromagnetic behavior of random wires AND

Go a step further with your Nano. After getting the swr data, also get the impedance information (R +/- jX). You may find one case of high swr involves a fairly low impedance, while another case is

Here is another antenna tuning conundrum. This morning I hoisted up a 72-foot random wire (and deployed a counterpoise). My calculations suggested it should tune great on 30 meters (almost exactly

Don’t forget the screen door of your slider out to the deck. Make sure the screen is metal, but then again the metal frame itself will work fine too. You get a higher score if the slider looks out

Thank you, Jeff, for that link. I think I have become spoiled with the marvelous internal tuner in my KX2 that will tune just about anything including the proverbial rain gutter. Dave

After waiting 3 months for parts on a slow boat from China, SSCPO sales have resumed! 73 Dave

Gm Chas I must say, your signal last night may have been the best that I have heard from you. I actually copied more than ur call and my signal report!! Good job. 72 Johnny ACØBQ -- Check out the

Dave, Glad you have solved the mystery of your tuner's behavior! Here's an article that you -- and others -- might enjoy: Getting the Most Out of Your T-Network Antenna Tuner, by Andrew Griffith

GE Johnny. I listened for the net but didn't hear anyone. Band was unusually noisy for the chosen frequency. Still no 80m capability so that was out. Looks like it will be a couple of months before

My 40m QNI was a nice piece of cake both ways. On 80m I listened for several minutes to a number of signals whose strength was 4 to 5. However readability was zero because of nearby thunderstorm
