Hi all, Just spent the day putting up a multi-band DX-CC (fan dipole, 80-10M) in an inverted V configuration. Unfortunately, I could not get the center mast extended beyond 20 feet, with one end up ~9 feet from ground, the other, ~5 feet from ground. I am seeing HI-SWR on all bands. Any

Sorry for the multiple emails; on more careful checking, I found that the SWR is nice and low on 40, 15 and 10. High (3+) on 20 and 80, so I must have some mismatch on just 20 and 80. Jay From: j_kris...@msn.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: K3/100 into DX-CC antenna (HI-SWR)

Hi Jay ! I suggest that you need to use ... borrow? ... some sort of an antenna analyzer such as an MFJ-259B and find the points on each band where the antenna -is- resonant. The resonant points on some bands will be quite narrow (80M), but I'd think you can adjust the lengths of the dipoles to
