If its good enough for those guys, at those frequencies,
shouldn't it be good for us at 1.8 MHz?

TU, Charlie on a great explaination for us non-engineers!
The topband reflector is a great resource for guys like me
trying to understand this band, even after decades in the hobby.
And yes, I'm working on the Beverages, as we speak!
Thanks, again!

That's a great question. Where is the analyzer actually getting that reading?

2) What exactly is the analyzer telling me when it says C:15893pF?
I'm far from an engineer, but something tells me that's way high. Or is it?

What are these reading telling me,and how can I improve the antenna?
Thanks, in advance!
