The subject says it all, but here is the details.
My 6 meter antenna is mounted at 75 feet on a Rohn 25 tower. The
feed line from the antenna to just past the rotor is RG 213, then
down the tower 70 feet of 1/2 inch 50 ohm heliax, from the base of
the tower to the shack 110 feet of RG 214.
I would like to replace the 110 feet of RG 214 with CATV 3/4 inch.
Now for the question, should I dip it to correct length or prune it
for best VSWR at the shack. Also why do you feel this way. By the
way the VSWR is now about 1.2:1 at the shack.
Thanks guys
