[TowerTalk] kt34xa flat swr

With the dual driven design, the XA is very flat on all
bands. I just looked at my XA on 15 on  the swr meter and it
is less than 1.2 across the band, with the traditional
double minimum in the curve.

How are your signal reports? How is the F/B ratio? F/B is
the best way to tell if a yagi is working, and it is easy to
measure:
