my SWR reading
"James Barrett" wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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 ?
