[Wswss] New Mast for 2-6 Meter Beams

[Mark Slater]

Hello to all, I recently acquired a telescoping mast from a friend that cranks up and town similar to a tower, but we will call it a mast regardless. I was able to raise my 2-6 meter beams up an additional 10-11 ft, I also changed my coax cable on each from RG-8 to LMR-400. For some reason the SWR went up on the 4 element 6 meter beam, I will adjust it next weekend. I think this will eliminate any interaction these antennas had with my HF beam, they used to turn inside one another, but still worked ok"small city lot".

This should improve my 2-6 meter capabilities, it's not perfect, but I think it's better and that's always a plus, and the neighbors and wife just loves this crap "not"!
 
Maybe at the M2 gathering I can find a 432 all-mode rig, that would top it off I think, and might p/u one of Mikes 432 beams.
 
Have a great evening,
