Help! My friend loaned me his MFJ 259B antenna analyzer to help me sort out some issues with my HF radios and dipole antennas. It was working...
My G5rv has broke. I'm going to build a ZS6BKW. My question is. When building the antenna, If i put the antenna up around 10 feet to adjust and...
Interesting problem. Antenna direct SWR @ 446.000 50 watts = 1.2, Radio to dummy load - same results, so I know my connectors are good to go. When...
After wringing my hands about it for a while, I decided to go ahead and electrically-isolate the 93-inch segment of downspout between the gutters...
Hello guys, can external and weather condition affect SWR ? I assume yes, but could someone explain how ? I have EFHW wire antenna ca 24m long....
Any real reason, benefits, problems, thoughts or comments about running an external SWR/PWR meter inline between the antenna feedline and the...
Just how reliable are these meters? Here is what prompted this question. I have a UHF/VHF antenna with LMR 400 as the feedline. When I attach...
Hi, I'm a new HAM and I need some advice on how to tune my MFJ-1848 Hex Beam. I have the antenna mounted 35 feet over my house and I really like...
I’m new to the hobby. I’m trying to figure out if I should get a rig expert or a NanoVna to check my antenna. I bought a Wolf River Coils antenna...
Hello, about 5....6 weeks ago I bought a new vertical HF Antenna (Crushcraft R8). We (My g/f and I) assembled it and a day later I mounted it on...
Before I email LDG, I figured i would try to get some input here. So I have a smallish lot, and use several different antennas. The antennas I...
Hello, I’m using an ICOM AT-180 tuner with my ICOM-718. Recently, while transmitting CW, the tuner will shut off by itself and the SWR will spike....
I'm looking into building my first HF antenna, but I don't have my first HF transciever yet, nor any kind of antenna analyzer. To tune the...
