Today I rewound a coil of 3 wraps and 5" diameter and 6" top to bottom. The SWR curve is roughly the same as it was, but the antenna is 14" shorter now. The present redone coil is made of 1/4" copper pipe, so is really ugly. I will not keep the pathetic little spindly looking coil. More changes tomorrow. It has gotten dark and supper approaches so I pulled the SUV into the garage for tonight. I don't know if the performance will suffer with the changes until tomorrow.
We'll find out.
