[Towertalk] TH7 DX Settings

[Steve Lawrence]

I've been using the "DX settings" for the TH7. I found an old posting to
the the list:

*****************************************************************
Later, Hy-Gain developed new dimension called "DX-settings" to
improve the lower end of each band.  In a discussion with
Roger Cox at Hy-Gain he has suggested an additional setting to
emphasize CW at an even greater sacrifice in VSWR at the top
of the bands.

I have summarized the figures below and will try the CW
setting on my TH-6/TH-2 conversion to a TH-7.  If these
check out well, then I will incorporate the changes into
my four other TH-7s to confirm the repeatability.

The only chages that need to be made are to the two driven
elements.  The following changes represent an evolution
of settings.

That is, add another inch to the DX settings. Has anyone tried this? If so,
what is the shifted SWR bandwidth?
