[TowerTalk] Trying to test out my old 40 meter cushcraft

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Dave, 

 

Try putting the reflector on a small milk crate or other non conductive box,
and aim the beam towards the sky.

Guy with some ropes to keep it standing more or less upright, pointed up.

 

A 40m beam just above the ground is nowhere near resonant where it might be
on your tower.

(if I understood your post)
