Default Question on dipole SWR problem


If I had a huge metal roof like that, I would be tempted to try one of
the shortened verticals. The kind that requires radials - which would
be your roof.


That is something we had not considered. Will keep that in mind.
Tnx.


You are running coax from the tuner to the shack, right; with just the
14 feet of ladder line?


Yes, 14' ladderline from tuner to antenna center. About 100 ' of
RG-213 on roof and another 30' or so going down to station inside
building. We have a coax choke balun located in line on the roof about
8' before the coax goes down in the building.
