Well my 24ft push-pole came in yesterday i did a quick test run on 10 meters 1.4 SWR 20 meters 1.6 SWR on 40 meters 1.4 SWR
The wire wasn't fully stretched had to use what was available at the time The antenna is = a true, half wave end fed antenna for 40-10 meters
UJM-40-10EFHW
This antenna is made by using a matching network consisting of a
49:1 bifilar wound toroid with the needed capacitance added for a wide, multi-band, no tuner-needed operation

today i found my solution what to use without spending any more money good old beach umbrella holder that screws in the sand and a push paint pole
see pic sept 9th is my tech license exam
