I was thinking that maybe the efficiency of an antenna resonant at 3.5 MHz would be poor at 3.8 MHz where I want to use it. If there is no diminution of efficiency when the tuner fixes the impedance, then I'll just keep using it as is. A G5RV that is resonant at 3.5 MHz would suffer additional losses at 3.8 MHz because of the higher SWR but the ham listening on the other end probably wouldn't notice the difference. But for 10m, the difference between 28 MHz and 29.7 MHz could certainly be appreciable. Try a 1000 pf silver mica cap across the twinlead at the twinlead/coax junction just on 75m. I think you would like the result. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
