The following was a quote I saw.
<blockquote>Quote:<hr>"The new wire likely may have a different velocity factor than the old wire. If the old wire was solid and your new wire is braided that would explain it. You can either cut the spreaders down (to physically shorted the wires) or replace it with solid wire as before. By your description it sounds like you are now using 'Copper Weld' wire. That does have a lower velocity factor than solid wire. Many commercial wire antennas use solid wire because it is more predictable. Please feel free to post my comments on the forum for the benefit of others, if you choose to share your experience." <hr></blockquote> What do you think about the advise?
