I just completed another test of my antenna. I set the antenna tuner
to "bypass" so I could use its SWR meter without affecting the
tuning. Then, for each of the five bands I want to use, I tuned up on
the dummy load, then switched over to the real antenna and checked the
SWR. Here's the results:

Frequency Dummy Antenna
3.750 1:1 infinity
7.150 1:1 2.5:1
14.175 1.05:1 3:1
21.225 1.1:1 3:1
28.850 1:1 1.9:1


Hi Jack,

If you can, move the Dummy Load to the end of the transmission line
and repeat the measurements.
