Dick- I've noticed some reduction in signals when going under an overpass, but not as much as you might expect. The effect may be different for different bands. I accept the fact that I have a compromise antenna when mobile. Since I don't have a remotely tuned screwdriver antenna, I stop the car and change the antenna to change bands. My current setup has a Hustler fold-over mast with an assortment of HF resonators, mounted low on the side of the car. I use an LDG tuner. The tuner works well on most bands, but only matches about 200 KHz on 75 Meters. Your idea of using a matching transformer is interesting. If I have to change resonators, I could change transformers at the same time. But I doubt it would eliminate the need for the tuner. Fred K4DII |
