Hi All !
Last weekend I tried again OFC dipole.
It didnt work as well as I was thinking, Maybe I have to change
position of the antenna itself but here in Finland cold season
is starting (on Sat morning I found ice from my boat), this OFC
project will continue when the spring comes...
After disappointed to OFC testing I changed back to 23 m long wire.
Before that I added one ground rod to my system, I wanted to do that
because the ground gets frozen soon.
FT897 was on 3,510 and I started tuning, FC40 didnt tune that, radio
was telling HIGHSWR, then I changed freq to 3,530 where FC40 was
earlier tuned (with the old ground system). FC40 took new settings
automatically from its memory and system was perfectly tuned.
Then I changed back to 3,510 and FT told HIGHSWR again, pushed tuning
button, no change. After that I went up to 3,560, I tuned and
everything was ok., then back to 3,510 and tuning again.
Now FC40 did it well.
I dont understand this, maybe FC40 needs total resetting..
