Homer, what does more or less mean in this context? Are you trying to set your new antenna up to specs or not?

 

In the beginning of my words on this subject, I told you I would not be talking about your radio performance using your new antenna, it would be more about analyzer results, match, and bandwidth issues, something we could measure. As I recall your match was good enough to safely work your radio, and that was good enough for me.

 

However, after you tested the match with your analyzer...I was thinking the issue was more about why it turned out the 259b did not tell a story like we both might hope for, and what could we do to try and find a base line for comparisons with some other ideas you had. I was trying to address those issues with you, and that required me to ask some questions.

 

Your comments above are just playing games with me again, simply because you do not like to be questioned I fear.

 

This could have been a learning experience for us both, I can't do this work any more and I don't have a mind to play games with you...and you just trying to be cute. You don't answer the questions I ask, and you seem upset with my asking.

 

I don't know if it is possible to ever get such an antenna setup to act like your dummy load using various line lengths, but that is what I would strive to get closer to.

 

I've said about all I can constructively add anyway.

 

Good luck.
