Yesterday I spent all the day testing the antenna I’m going to use in Mexico.
All went fine. The vertical dipoles resonance is good and also the performances seems good.
With the antenna very near to houses and walls I was able to listen to JA stations in 17m.
Also the vertical for 30m seems to be fine, at least from a resonance point of view (SWR less the 1.3:1 at the centre of the band).
Let’s see what’s happen on the island with the antenna mounted very close to the sea.
Great 5/9 signal mobil traveling at 50 MPH on the highway 20 miles west of Boston, tnx for a new one on 17M, thanks for being there for all of us…David
