Well my 70' Rohn 45 in the air. As is the Orion OR-2800 rotator, (the mounting of this rotor is the coolest thing since sliced bread!!!) 21 foot galvanized HD steel mast, (not water pipe), a 2 elemen
Thanks I'm also using Phillistran guys. I'll also try turning the booms 90 degrees. I was hoping it was not needed. 73 Jim W7RY as as degrees was I lb. and any _______________________________________
Thanks. I'm 25+ miles from any broadcast. But, I will be sure to check it on a radio when I get the feed lines into the shack! Thanks and 73 Jim W7RY times ___________________________________________
Just relax and feed the power to the system. Use a tuner to adjust the impedance at the station for the 40-2CD when you use SSB. If the 2.5:1 bothers you at (21.000 you said, but I suspect you meant

I recall having similar issues with a similar setup years ago. You could turn one of the antennas 90 off the other and see what the swr looks like with the booms not parallel. You might also want to
I hook up my ICE BCB (model 402) high pass filter to my MFJ -259B before taking any "serious" readings on 80m and 160m. Makes all the differences in the world. Closest AM broadcast station to me is a
I likewise suffered a "world of hurt" on my MFJ259B when the local 10KW AM station opened up less than a mile from me on 1620!! I built a 9 section high pass filter from the October 1983 QST pp 17-19
Hi Don: I solved a similar problem here when tuning K7OX 160m vertical. He is very close to strong BC stations and the MFJ filter for the 259 did not solve the problem. I used my old MFJ 202 noise br
