Hi, I just got my new (used) HF rig, and I strung up a half wave dipole
for 10 meters using 28.4 mhz in my calculations. Several hours later I
am getting an SWR reading of 2:1 at 28.4mhz. Is that pretty good or
should I try to do better?

I appreciate any opinions.

Jim

What are you feeding your dipole with? Coax or ladder line ?I found that if
you use 450 ohm ladder line for your feed the length of the feed line can
cause you problems . What kind of rig are you using ? BTW welcome to the
group !
