As per my previous post.....on my Inverted Vee Dipole.....
I borrowed a MFJ 259 (Plain Model) and measured the antenna from the Shack
end.
Resonate Freq = 7030 or so
SWR is 1.5:1
Resistance is about 28 ohms
When I install the antenna through through the BW Switch, PalStar Tuner
(Direct), the SWR Bridge, the AL80A and to the end of the coax going into the
PROII... I get the following reading.
Resonate Freq = 6.968
SWR 1.6:1
Resistance is about 45 ohms.
HMMMM.....so what can you swamis - gurus - experts - science types tell me
about that. Obviously, I am adding coax and a whole lot of other junk in line.
It looks like the antenna is plenty long....and it never makes 50 ohms....nor
does it make 70 ohms as some have suggested.
