I tuned the .64 for bandwidth and swr with the vertical section and gamma respectively, I should have fooled with the tapping point of the gamma but there again my lazy (C) got the best of me once more as I would have had to redesign the tapping point clamping bracket to the vertical section, whether or not this would have helped we'll never know as far as I'm involved.

If Bob or some one else comes up with something viable to optimize this antennas view of the horizon or give it more gain without driving it north or south in bandwidth I would gladly lay it down on the ground for that.

I do get very good signal reports in dx but I'm sure it's got a lot to do with the excellent conditions mutha nateur is supplying.

[QUOTE="mackmobile43, post: 210012, member: 6232"] I tuned the .64 for bandwidth and swr with the vertical section and gamma respectively, I should have fooled with the tapping point of the gamma but there again my lazy (C) got the best of me once more as I would have had to redesign the tapping point clamping bracket to the vertical section, whether or not this would have helped we'll never know as far as I'm involved. If Bob or some one else comes up with something viable to optimize this antennas view of the horizon or give it more gain without driving it north or south in bandwidth I would gladly lay it down on the ground for that. I do get very good signal reports in dx but I'm sure it's got a lot to do with the excellent conditions mutha nateur is supplying.:thumbup: [/QUOTE]
