Hello Ash!

For a broadband RX antenna, that match looks good.  Exactly what I see with
my AIM analyzer when looking at my BOGs.  Don't mess with it.

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:

)
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?
