ok antenna gurus what did i do wrong? originally the swr on this 4 el
Hygain 6 mtr beam was a perfect 1:1 at 50.1 . But I wanted to run high
power thru it so the manual calls to change the coax balun from rg58 to
rg213 which i did except I think that the coax was RG8. It was cut to
the same length as the 58 as per the manual. Now the swr at 50.1 is 2:1
and the resonant point for 1:1 is clear up at 52.0 . I don't want to
change the element lengths as they should be right on. Only thing else
is move the beta match in or out some.... or match it some other way.
Would the 213/rg8 make that kind of difference? Maybe I should change
the length of that coax! Ideas? help!!!! lol, Cort K4WI
