[KCDXC] 160M to 80 M?

Mon, 11 Nov 2002 16:59:45 -0600

Tom, are you measuring the SWR using your MFJ at the base of tower or at the
end of the 500' of cable?  Is the lowest SWR on 80, 4.71:1?  What is the SWR
at 3.68 Mhz (2 times 1.84 Mhz)? At 4.7:1 at 3.7 Mhz, I would probably
operate with an antenna tuner and not worry about it.
