Beam update.....
I am just tickled pink. I hooked my analyzer up to "Locomotive Breath" this morning. Without even adjusting the antenna gamma... this is the SWR after the build. I couldn't believe it!!!! I know the SWR will come down even more once I mount it up top my 20 foot tower. I hooked some coax to it and ran my 6 watt Cobra 29 LTD Classic into to it. I heard Michigan out there and called for him. He came back saying I was doing a solid 10s units to him. I couldn't believe it. I spoke with him for about 20 minutes without fading out. All I could think of was how this thing was going to work when I put some power into it. I didn't want to try running any power into it yet because of all the ground reflection....but once it is up 20 feet.....Trainman will be dropping the maul.
Trainman in the big bam....steppin'
