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,
G.C.
cheers on the spell check guys
50 ohm impedance on all points may be fine but inherent loss on the
connections makes it impossible to achieve perfect matching. closest
thing i've seen is hardline connections on some of the navy test
equipment (CASS) that i've worked with. that was up in the gigahertz range.
