Got Lucky on Six meters w/Fan Dipole
I picked up a new (to me) TS-570S(G) so I can start working six meters.
I do not have a dedicated six meter antenna so I decided to try my Fan dipole. It was a 40/80 W9INN dipole that I modified for 18 MHz and 10 MHz by adding two sets of wires. I tried it on 50.125 and rig loves it. I can get full power with whisper of SWR that the TS-570S can easily handle. The SWR on 51 and 52 MHz is not that good; however, the auto-tuner makes the 570 smile. I am not really concerned as I plan operate mostly at 50 MHz. Something tells me the 18 MHz wires are semi-resonant at 50 MHz and I got lucky. 73, Dick AA5VU |
