I have a new M2 6mter 7 elememt ( 6M7 ) on a 26ft boom. SWR while on the
ground looked good and at 10ft. IN the air, on the tower the lowest swr is
at about 49.700 !! ? There are other antennas on the tower, including 3
ele STEPPIR with the additional 6 mtr ele. This x-tra STPPEIR ele was
REMOVED and the elements HOMED ( or retracted, with no change. A 20ft boom
2mter beam about 15 ft higher, a K1FO on 220 and another M2 17ft boom on
432, with a small H-frame for mounting. None of these are that far away, but
these do not have problems of their own, they appear to have no interaction
from the 6 mtr beam. Also trimmed 1/4" from each side of the driven element
with no swr change. I am a bit stumped here. Any ideas or suggestions are
welcomed, on or OFF line or on the PHONE. Thanks... -Mike, K4CVK (941)
