Dear Scott:
I didn't get too many comments but Bob, WS1A, agreed with my conclusion
that something appears amiss on the inter-array line impedance. He stated
"... you can't design a 2-boom LPDA for a 50 ohm feed impedance. Period".
What has me stymied is anecdotal evidence that some folks (e.g.- KE4FW) do
enjoy low SWR across the 14-29 bandwidth. At this point I'm stumped as to
what to do. I would certainly welcome additional comments from others on
how to improve SWR bandwidth of my T-10. Good luck with yours, Scott. The
beast is certainly well designed at least mechanically.
73, Dave W2TA
