Well, I finally got a SWR meter for UHF and put it
on my 2 meter colinear base antenna. The antenna
is a Hustler CG-144 with radial/mast mount kit. It's
a 1/4 wave phased with a 5/8 wave. It's best VHF
swr is 1.2:1 @ 144.900 mhz.

I had tested it on 440 with my HT and it seemed to
work so I got a SWR meter and tested it. My friend
Dave KC0EMK also came over with his UHF ant
analyzer.

Both meters show a varying SWR around 1.8:1 with
a dip to 1.1:1 @ 440.500 mhz. Coax is 37' of Flexi
4XL with properly fitted PL-259's on each end.

What gets me is if this antenna performs so well on
UHF and the swr's are not too bad, then WHY doesn't
Hustler advertise it as a dual band antenna?
