Ya I'm probably going for the v58 I dont need a 5000 watt one. But yeah Homer thank you so much, Im really depressed over this, I really Like the plans too i think its the best plans Ive seen threw all the research ive been doing I really like the ones you made they look clean.... I have it...
IM done I spent to much on this including the analyzer to make my own antennas Im just going to run down to the local Electronics and pick up a Maco V58 or a V5000 maybe just a Imax 2000 Im not sure yet Thank You all for your Time
well now its 2.8 at 30mhz and 3.1 at 27205 my center lowest it will go I have to figure how to mess with that lower element to adjust it i don't want to cut then re assemble cut reassemble there has to be another way
OBTW I scan for x=0 and best I got was -2 @ 28.425
i just went out again totally disassembled it I re-soldered everything even though they all checked out i wrapped the connection point with tape and used a piece of the fiberglass pole to hold the 3 inches of non shielded coax rigid i remeasured assembled with ever screw I tested Now I went out...
I had the same analyzer but sold it, I thought I would change pace a lil and went with this one Analyzer is new just got it 2 weeks ago and I tested it on my Mobile And it checks out the same as with the MFJ and My Dosey on SWR
I got the SWR to drop last night I need to trim equal amount...
Well OK guys I really really appreciate all your time thank you... I'm going to bring this thing in one last time check it out if all checks out I'm calling it quits I'm spending way to much time on it and getting way too many failures and wasting your time Ill just save and get a store...
The infinity is just what you get when you don't input a frequency .... the screws are very short the tip just peek threw and I tested for that already with my VOHM Im positive the soldering is good not only it was tested with the VOHM it was inspected its shiny plus the tip of upper antenna...
HMMM ok this is all with a tape measure 102 top 102 bottom no metal to metal Now don't laugh at my mast assy its only a temp. please explain wth is going on
Im going to use the excess coax for a Ugly Choke Then I'm going to try and get my fiberglass ladder to hold that thing up out in the yard somewhere and hook the Analyzer up to it
OK here we go I used to make home TV antennas 100 years ago so I had a little brain storm I hope this will work and give opinions please. the first pic is the connection of the coax to the tubes approx 3 inches shielded.
Pic 2 The 2 copper tubes connected with 1 inch PCV Insulator
