Hell Jim, every measurement made using ANY equipment could be a fallacy if
taken out the correct(to disprove)decimal point:-)

I'm just saying (for my own comparative measurements) on my Dosy meter I've
tuned my 1000 for 1:1 on 35 and I KNOW it talks nice:-) I'm SURE it's not
because of the 1:1 measurment, but because of the antenna....and I'm doing
it without 18' of coax....just 6'.

I also talk all over, from Alaska to Turkey from my mudduck mobile here in
pa:-)

isn't a 1:1 swr reading a fallicy (sp?). not saying that your equipment is
relaying false readings but a 1:1 match in theory should be impossible.
i have the 1000 also and agree that it works well. on the other hand the
old 102" whip worked the falkland islands on 12 watts.

No. Not true. I run 6 feet on my 1000 mag. 1.1 swr's on channel 35.

Great antenna btw. I don't know if you can beat one for the
ease/money/performance.

I received and old wilson 1000 mag. mount and want to put it on my quad
(4 magnet) mount. I hear that I need a 18 ft. piece of coax for a
counterpoise. Is that true? Any info appreciated.

Thanks,
