Put your GOOD rig and amp on 3595 and put 1500 w. CW into your coax to
your fan dipole and have a listen to what comes out on 7190.  Have a
ham listen a couple miles away.
Who told you it was a good rig?  The manufacturer?

There are thousands of tribanders, trap verticals, and beloved fan
dipoles and now, thousands of solid state broadband boxes overdriving
s.s. garbage amps.  Maybe you should add something about a low pass L
network tuner to your tutorial.
