[TenTec] Tuning Amp on 17 meters

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

  "So many of my friends think the antenna is "resonant" when SWR is lowest,
and that is all they ever look at."

People who think like that are praying to false Gods.
Shame on them.

You will almost never find that lowest SWR coincides to resonance frequency.

[James] It is very easy to confirm that with all of your antennas, using
your RigExpert AA-230, but NOT in SWR mode.
Switch it to Phase or one of the R/X/ modes.  There you can find the true
resonance frequency.  Then go find the frequency of minimum SWR.  They are
almost never the same.
