Im wondering if these poles are hollow for the first 9 ft I would slide the wire inside I know the section ends are probably capped...... Walmart by me has 3 poles left i think ill grab 1

Thank you this one is interesting I may go out today and get some of the materials looks like the hardest part will be removing the pole guides,

Thanks for the reply The read out 1.18 is from My AA230 zoom when I laid the antenna flat on the deck The 1.59 is also from the meter when I stood the antenna back up......I am aware of the ratio configuration

I I added a Ugly Balun but didnt make any difference i brought the antenna down to where i had it when I was testing it and pulled the coax straight out the best I can the Ungly balun is about a foot off the so239 connector should it be further down the antenna?

OH I see now Maybe a trip to HD is on the agenda today Im At 2:1 on the SWR now where it sit as shown in the second pic maybe if i put back up it will correct itself I dunno I just dont like heights and Im by myself so its sketchy

So I would solder the coax weave on to the copper pipe correct and make the copper pipe 102 inches with the stinger side also 102 inch but a little longer for tuning

Ya know I appreciate you guys helping me with this.....

OK I put it back together and in a temp location atm its below roof line and pulled the coax out the best I can for a temp thing and my results ch1 2:1 ch20 2:2 ch40 2:3

O Ok Ill go out this AM and try that thank you Ill report back

correct i dropped the antenna back down to ground level where it did get 1:2 but now with the RG 213 on its gone crazy and I did check the coax with my AA-230 Zoom analyzer ans all checks out ok.....cable loss 0.60DB @27405 MHZ 49.8 ohms

I checked the cable with the AA230 zoom Cable loss 0.60DB @27405 MHZ 49.8 ohms yes all soldered and verified

I just dropped it off the roof put it back where i WAS getting 1:2 and it at 6.5 now only other thing that is different is the rg213 i have on it now from the rg8x I had on it while matching earlier... the coax has no shorts I tested with my Fluke meter

This antenna plan didn't require them .... The stinger goes up The GP goes down same length on both trim both when matching to sp5 its question to forestrunner the gp goes down inside mast

Ill have to open it up to see the numbers I put those finals in just for the hell of it and like i thought the 1969's are clones will not work the 2166's are OE and work good.....

I re-soldered those 2 area best I could No changes so the search goes on ...I think Im still going to put the finals in I dont know if that would help the WeaK modulation problem or not but Ill give it a try.....
