I have a 5 element 6 meter beam bought several years ago from C3I that
was damaged last summer. I bought replacement elements from Ariane
Arrays, and they provided a new assembly sheet showing some differences
in element spacing.
I finally got around to fixing the antenna this weekend, and the tuning
is significantly off. It's showing a best SWR of about 1.4 and the dip
is at about 48.7 MHz. Moving the tee-match sliders by up to 2 inches
didn't really make much difference.
Does anyone here have the instructions for the "late model" 5 element
antenna sold by Ariane, and if so, could they provide me with any
instuctions on setting the matching?
Thanks and 73,
John
