hee hee. Well, dummy load was not by choice, but it probably works as
well. My choice was (no offense to my fellow SMC-ers) the black hole in
space. All the RF I ever pumped into mine was gone, but apparently not
into the airwaves.
My Voyager was the best-tuning, broadest banded antenna I ever heard of.
Yet, it didn't do squat. I was lucky to unload it as new for only a minor
loss.
Save your money. put up a loop, even if it's 30 feet high. It will make
the Voyager look awful. if no room, get ANY OTHER antenna in the world.
the Voyager is not a performer.
