After everything was all cleaned-up and re-assembled, I have the antenna set at the "Code 11" points, but it seems to be a little long - I got SWR readings on 20M of 1.4 @ 14.010, 2:1 @ 14.150, 2.5 @

Thanks to all who replied on this - I'll get busy with all the suggestions. One question - why does placing the antenna vertical with the reflector a few feet off the ground change the result? This w

Although somewhat effective, tuning a Yagi by placing the reflector on the ground and pointing up will yield inaccurate VSWR and resonance readings. Basically, the reflector is being replaced by the

For all intent and purposes the antenna is blind to everything behind the reflector. All you gotta do is get the reflector off the ground. de Paul, W8AEF _____________________________________________

This is not true. The reflector has RF current flowing in it. Put that element close to a dielectric and the current distribution and magnitude will change because of the dielectric loading. It's no

Are you saying that the "raise the reflector off the ground and point the antenna straight up" method that I have used on: 204BA @ 73' 153BA @ 88' 103BA @ 95' TH3-JR @ 45' TH3-MK3 @ 47' C-3 WARC-7 2m

What I was trying to say is that it DOES make a difference if there's ground behind the reflector. It's not like the reflector is a perfect mirror. The change in feedpoint impedance isn't very big, s

I don't quite understand why the only adjustments you made were to the DE. By definition, a beta match is looking for a negative reactance. I wonder why the other elements were not adjusted. Also, we
