Has anyone built their own coil for this antenna? With a lousy radial 
field you don't need a match.  I installed a few more radials and now 
the swr has jumped and the bandwidth is tiny on this antenna.

DXE sells a matching coil that used 16 turns on 1.5 to 2 inch tube.  I 
have a bunch of solid copper ground wire to build my own.

I was just curious about how many turns people needed if anyone had 
tried this.
