MFJ Antennae analysers? VNWA?
"Ralph Mowery" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... Most of the hams I have seen with the MFJ do not have the skills to really use it and a simple swr meter would do just as well or beter for them. That's a sad comment and contrary to my experience, though most of the hams I know are also engineers or technicians in real life. Our local club has about 55 members. About 1/4 of them never show up and I am not even sure why they are on the roster,but they do pay the dues every year. About 5 are XYLs and dubt any of them have any technical skills. There are 2 or 3 that are or have been involved with broadcast radio or TV. One that was a 2 way man at the highway patrol. One or two that had electrical or electronic education in college that were not into RF work. There were a couple of more that had some other college education such as a doctor or business. Overall, out of 55 people maybe 2 or 3 could actually use the analizer to do something that a simple SWR meter would not do, just get the swr on the antenna down. probably just bored jaded professionals .... |
