The "tree", was a tree at one time, It is a tepee, pole. It was 32ft long when I first got it, It is over 100 years old, and like a rock but it does bend some... We had winds of 15, with gusts up to 45 and nothing looked like it was going to move. The 2016 is strong, and were good. Fed point to...

Thank you. Playing with my atu on this ft450d I have found 50 mhz, and 14.mhz...and others tune up real well. I am going to sit down tonight and tone all spots I can tune up.

I got a photo this morning, our sky right now is full of smoke from all the forest fires we have here in n.w. mt. ( 30 miles from Glacier Nat.Park).

[/ATTACH] It's to dark to get photo's of the antenna to night. I should get so tomorrow.

Soon to be putting a Sirio 2016 on top of the pole, quad on the pully so I can remove it and put up other wire antenna projects.

How it looks today. More work to do.

Thank you very much, I have a lot to learn.

Right on, Thank you, I will.

Oh one more thing when I power up my computer I get 4 on the S meter, when I power off the computer it goes away...Any help?

Well I played with it to much yesterday.. I added to much wire, and moved the feed point. Feed point is at apx.42ft. now, and my loop is at: 25.584 R= 110, X= 0, swr2.2 to 26.310 R= 102, X=0, swr2.0 27.000 R=42, X=19 swr 1.8, swr1.7 27.385 R=33, X=14, swr1.7 27.555 R=32, X=11, swr1.6 My feed...

I do not know what that is...?

I found that out in real time bob85. When I was putty up the loop I first put my 259C on at my feed point, ran it up and looked at with my scope. Then I tested it with 20ft of DX Eng. 8X coax (new). I then tested with a 50 ft. DX Eng. 8x coax. And now have it on the 50 + 20 ft. I also noted that...

It is.

Thank you very much. I just stopped by on my lunch. Now that things are starting to slow down here, come nov. it will get real slow and I can get back to the books.(y)

Swamped today....Will be cutting new loop (longer) to work on after s-2016 is ready to put up. Loop as is is working well, quite, some power loss.....I'll get her fixed soon. Thank you for your help..

How right you are...Maybe I should have left it as is...Now I'm at: 26.825, R=109, X=0. swr 3.0 23.344. R=23/24, X=0 swr 5.1 27.385, R=48, X=10. swr 2.7 27.555, R=38, X= 7. swr 2.6 My Yaesu ft450d can clean it up but I think I should get it better...? My "best showing now looks like: 35.765 R=91...

No the mast is not metal, the mast is a "tepee pole". The Pole is 28 ft long, and it is mounted on my deck on the 2ed story. (the pully is brass). I still need to play with the loop a bit, I need to add a few inches. I am X=0 and R= 47-52, and the swr is 1.9, 2.4 ish, I would like to get 1.1...

Working on it today. I have a 4:1 and am going to try it. thank you.
