Hi all,I just finished setting up my vertical antenna for 160 in 3V8SF location. It is 17m (55 ft) long with 2 top loading wires 12m each (40ft), angle to vertical about 40 deg. I added 8 radials, 20m each (65ft). With no shunt matching, the SWR at antenna base is 3.2 and at radio side is 2.8. Is there any way I can improve the SWR further? Photos of the antenna along with SWR curve can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_3FsWZI3zdi56zz0LOiKNOmfgiWeN6yG?usp=sharing 73 Ash 3V8SS/KF5EYY www.kf5eyy.info _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband |
