  Subject: [SECC] swr on 6 mtr beam
  
  ok antenna gurus what did i do 
  wrong? originally the swr on this 4 el Hygain 6 mtr beam was a perfect 1:1 at 
  50.1 . But I wanted to run high power thru it so the manual calls to change 
  the coax balun from rg58 to rg213 which i did except I think that the coax was 
  RG8. It was cut to the same length as the 58 as per the manual. Now the swr at 
  50.1 is 2:1 and the resonant point for 1:1 is clear up at 52.0 . I don't want 
  to change the element lengths as they should be right on. Only thing else is 
  move the beta match in or out some.... or match it some other way. Would the 
  213/rg8 make that kind of difference? Maybe I should change the length of that 
  coax! Ideas? help!!!! lol, Cort K4WI
