Hi Gang,
I finally have gotten my 160m antenna up and need some assistance on
what to do next.
It is a T-top Marconi aka a top-loaded vertical wire. The top wire is
100' long of 12 gauge, the vertical wire bisects at the halfway point
and is about 50'-60' long. There are right now 24 - 100-ft. radials.
The Palstar analyzer says it is: SWR >10, 0 + j122 at 1.825Mhz. at the
base of the antenna.
A. What does this mean and what do I do about it?
At the rig, the SWR shows something like 5:1 at 1.825 and decreasing
until I run out of band at 1.999.
I have the following:
Amidon T240-K and T240-77 cores.
16 gauge Thermalize wire
Glass tape
What do I do next to get this thing working?
Regards for any advice!
Paul
