Good afternoon all...and a good one it is.
I won't bore y'all with the fine details, but will say that here are the
final results:
Vert lgth: 55 ft
Total lgth: 137.5 ft
C-P wires (4 @ 9' high): 135 ft long
Shunt capacitor: 3 ea 500uuf doorknobs - 1500uuf total
Variable cap. not needed
2:1 SWR points: 1.800 mhz/1.841mhz
Min. SWR at 1.820 - 1.3:1
TS-440S, boatanchors and me are happy.
Lesson learned: what works for other folks ain't necessarily
gonna work for me.
Thanks to all for the comments, suggestions, etc.
What a great group here on the Topband list.
73 de Bill, K4JYS
