HGP-500

Marconi,
When I had the antenna set at 22' I think low SWR was was around 26.400+ as I remember. The antenna was 16' off the ground and I was using a 3' jumper! I don't remember what the reactance was, sorry. 2 to 1 swr would be about 80 channels I would think, nothing like a A99 that I use, but I like listening to this antenna for some reason a lot, I use it with a Connex CX33 Base radio and the sound of a strong station sounds like there standing in front of you and you can touch them! With my A99 the same sound sounds like the sound is pushed
toward you, not relaxed sounding, for what that worth hmm. Have electronic switching so can compare up to 4 antenna in a second an that helps in comparisons. Time will tell when other posts coming in using this antenna an we can compare the feedback, two ...........Oldtimer
