[TowerTalk] F12 EF-240/230

[Roger Huntley]

I have assembled a Force 12 EF-240/230 (2 element 30 & 40 Mtr on a common
boom) and have suspended it up 25 feet on a rope between two trees.  I am
unable to get the antenna resonant at a frequency that is in either band.
Email to F12 three days ago was not answered.

The best tuning is about 1.25 @ 6.7-6.8 Mhz and quite narrow.  On 30 it is
1.5 @ 9.8 Mhz.  I do not seem to get the resonant frequency above those
listed.  I have tried moving the linier jumpers so they are quite a ways off
what the manual quotes but it does not seem to make much difference.  I am
using a MFJ259B on about 35 feet of coax.

Anyone out there had any experience with this antenna and can offer some
suggestions?

Thanks,

Roger, W7VV
