I agree with Tom that the hamstick will probably resonate but cut somewhat shorter than a 5/8ths to make up for the extra wire the 2 meter matching coil has. Hamsticks usually have an adjustable stinger. Can the stinger be adjusted from longest to shortest and those two resonant frequencies be measured? Is this the 9007 "Mobile Colinear Antenna" from Lakeview? They don't say it is 5/8WL. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

No, Cecil, this is NOT the collinear. It is a loaded, 5/8 wave. It
is the 9002. What is a stinger ? Are you referring to the stainless steel whip ? 73 de Jim K4PYT |

Are you referring to the stainless steel whip ? Yes, the Lakeview web page says the 5/8WL is "Tunable for other frequencies". My suggestion is to tune it to the lowest frequency and measure that frequency. Then tune it to the highest frequency and measure that frequency. That should give enough information to raise its resonant frequency by 7%. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
