Default First Attempt

Thank you for your response

I'm afraid I don't have a way of measuring the SWR at the coax.

Should I consider connecting the balun directly to the slinkys rather than
at the end of the twinline? Should the twinline be supported so that it is
not lying on the roof?

Or should I just dismantle it and go back to positioning the GSRV Mini.
That, at least, is a copper dipole.

Thanks again

Actually, the entire antenna design is terrible. What is the SWR
on the coax at the balun? Steel is not a good conductor to use in
an antenna at RF frequencies.
