I have a 40 Meter inverted V mounted off the side of my TX-472 tower at about
55 feet. I have a fiberglass pole holding it out from the tower around 2 1/2
feet away from the tower.
I originally cut each leg at 31 feet, 4 inches. I have added length, cut off
length, and changed the angle of the legs.
I CANNOT get this antenna to tune to resonance anywhere.... the lowest my MFJ
will show is about 1.9 around 6 MHz.
I also have a 30 meter V and 80 meter V, plus a 160 dipole, which all work
flawlessly coming out of the same remote switch.
Do you think the tower could be de-tuning the antenna?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong with this picture? I need to
get the SWR down so that my Alpha 87A will deliver a little bit more power out.
Thanks for any help.....
73's and see you in the pile ups!
