Topband: Beverage Antenna Tuning

[pa5mw at home.nl]

Based on my field installed beverages experience, I would say this is
exactly what I always read on my ant analyzer.
Ground and local air/bush moisture level changes, like after rain or such,
will affect readings too.

I would do optimization only if this installation was permanent and you have
the time and tools available.

Hi All

I measured the SWR in my beverage antenna; the SWR fluctuates between 1.5
and 3 in a range of 1.8 to 7 MHz. (See:

ing
)
I know SWR should not vary too much. However, some people are suggesting
adjusting the termination resistor. Others suggest checking the transformer
number of windings for a good match. What shall I do?
