Prior to Field
Day I was plotting a SWR
curve to determine my 2:1 bandwidth on my half wave tuner and ran
into a problem.
I only use a single coil without taps and a single capacitor
combination on my minimum parts half
wave tuner and wanted to find the bandwidth on 40 meters after I
had tuned for minimum output/SWR. But I found that the SWR
curve was badly skewed on 40 meters when my variable was tuned to around 15-20 pf. Can you spot what
caused this problem? I
fiddled with it
for quite a while - more time than I care to admit.
