[Fred Hogrefe]

From the top…
Kenwood TM-V71A
6’ RG-8X
MFJ pass through
40’ RG-8X
30’ fiberglass mast
Diamond 200

Now I Live in Craig County at the bottom of a valley. I deal with HIGH mountains all around so…

Last night i tested. 50w with only a flutter on the reflection needle! I’m happy … i took the meter back out when i finished testing. Antenna location will not change. 

All I can see is changing to a Diamond 300. 

It is what it is.  

Sorry for the typing, I sent it from my iPhone

Cheers, Fred
