What is with you and the swr meter? Forget it. Make a dipole and hang it
up.Make a groundplane and hang it up. Get a cheap 1/4wave commercial mobile whip, cut it 19" long, stick it on a metal bracket and screw it to the house gutering. Bandwidth is so wide at VHF you won't have a problem. I've never bothered with an swr meter at VHF. The formulas work. Brad. "tom" wrote in message news:LeZZd.695607$Xk.128464@pd7tw3no... My other cohort suggested a ground-plane vertical, too. What's the deal with ground plane verticals? It seems they are slightly mechanicaly more complicated than a half wave dipole, but that's fine if there's some advantage. Are they safer to use without an swr meter? |
