[50mhz] M2 antenna

Ron,

I have the 6M7 not the JKV model but they are very similar. I did not buy 
the JKV because it looked to flimsy for the Wx we get here on the coast. I 
set the match per the instructions, with the antenna at 15' and it stayed 
flat at it's final home at 50'. I have heard several stories of the JKV 
being flat near the ground and then changing when it is up. Perhaps that is 
what happened to you.  I tuned mine to be flat at 50.100 and it looks great 
from 50.000 to 50.300 after that the SWR starts to climb.

73, Al
