Topbanders,
R and J are:
Freq 1.820
R=54.6 jX=10.4 with dipole at operating height, connected to the system
and tuned.
R=35.0 jX=-4.8 with dipole at operating height and disconnected at
shack end.
R=16.2 jX=-35.6 with dipole disconnected and grounded.
No chance now to put down the dipole , it's 11 pm local.
Unmatching the dipole ( like setting the antenna tuner to a bad match)
doesn't change much.
Homing the elements of the SteppIR<>set to 20m also doesn't change much.
So the dipole has a big impact on the shunt fed tower.
Will remove the dipole tmw. and check again.
Any ideas how to detune the dipole?
