For you 160 meter buffs, let me repeat a post I put on the
reflector a couple of years ago.
Bird means what they say when they label a slug with a
frequency range. I once spent many hours trying to "improve"
the poor efficiency of a 160 meter amp I had constructed.
I figured 1.8 mhz was close enough to 2 mhz when using a
2-30 mhz slug, but that is not the case. You will always come
out with a lower than actual reading when using a 2-30 mhz
slug on 160. Just a caveat to keep you from pulling you hair out
on an amp project!
