Base A-99 and Neighbors?

I have not seen any information posted about what type radio or power level you have?
If the radio is super whack packed top gun modulated then could be spurious RF SPLATTER being transmitted.
I have used A99 verticals and never had any problems with RFI,,choke wrapped on the coax at fed point and clean modulation from the rig,
I have an optima mk3 into a dx500. I'm happy with the way it is running with the a99. I just turn the stereo off and the problem is solved. I have talked to all the neighbors near me, and they say they haven't noticed a thing.
 
I've had a couple of A99's that acted bad with RF at my station but I came to suspect it was just that particular antenna. I've also had several that never gave me any trouble...even without running a coaxial choke.

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
