1. Topband: Reactance problem (score: 1): Author: Billg@warwick.net (Bill Gerhold); Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 20:47:24 -0500; Why would the reactance change on a ground mounted vertical for no apparent reason. I used to get a resonance point at 1.840mhz. Lowest SWR was at 1.850. All was fine until about 1 month ago. Checkin; /archives//html/Topband/2002-03/msg00112.html (7,988 bytes)
