[TowerTalk] 40 Meter 4sq element tuning freq.

[maflukey at gmail.com]

Tune individual elements about 100 khz below target resonance without
allowing any mutual coupling to adjacent elements (ie feed points of
adjacent elements are open circuited or elements not installed).

Hope this info helps and GL.

I am having trouble tuning the elements and would like some help as I lost
my tuning notes.  My question is; what freq should I tune each element for?

 

My set up is:   I have a RigExpert for an antenna analyzer, telescoping AL
elements, phasing lines cut for 7130 MHz, DX Engineering 4sq controller 

 

>From my limited memory, tuning 150 KC down  from 7130 sticks in my mind.
Once all elements are tuned to the same freq, the resonant freq rises up.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks...........Skip Caswell KE9L
