It at the lowest inductance if I understand your description. The rolling
tap has shorted out the inductor at that point.


With mine, 000 is the lowest inductance. But mine is an older 989c.
They may vary. Try tuning 10m. If it's tuning near the 000 end, thats
min inductance.

Still playing with this antenna to get things sorted out, but I'm
using a 44-ft. dipole with 42-ft. of twinlead. 10m is tuning at 000 on
the inductor; 12m, 15m, 20m are at 003; 30m is at 013. Looks like,
then, 000 is minimum inductance.

Thanks to all...
