Got fed up ven trying to make the ATX work/. Cut a dipole for forty and for twenty instead. The forty one and me went /p yesterday. Centre up at c 10 fet, the ends lower. Great interG and french QSO's all on 5 and 2.5 watts. Ace fun.
Today /p with the 20m one. Centre at 15 feet and the ends at about 5. First station the Spnsih DXpedition EA5KB. Great fun.
Do yourselves a faour guys, stop trying to make a 50 inch telescope work when you'll succeed MUCH better with a dipole at almost any height.
I hve mde this point before, but just to reiterate...the physics of RF aren't optional, they are the LAW.
I think Julian's point about Yaesu should have fed HF to the back only, just to encourage us to use wire,is a good one.
Great rig though. Thanks Yaesu.
I'm ready for a flaming now. Off you go.
