I was running my dipole with a 6 turn, 2-5/8" dia rg8x coax choke
at the feed point. I got the following "dips" on my SWR meters: 2.330 mhz, 1:1 8.000 mhz 1.8:1 23.615 mhz 1.2:1 A message I got specified that at 6 turns (2.342 uH), I might want to consider adding a few turns. I added 3, for a new inductance of 4.132 uH. Now I get the following "dips" in my SWR meters: 2.330 mhz, 1:1 8.040 mhz, 1.8:1 13.630 mhz, 1:1 new! 23.615 mhz, 1.2:1 I didn't add any coax to make the turns - I simply used the slack in the line I had to wind the turns. I can't wind any more without adding coax at this point..... Anyone know what's going on here? FYI the antenna is a 153'2" dipole wrapped closely around a brick building. The feedpoint is on the third floor window, the ends are 1) chest height and 2) 10' high. Everything is very well grounded (covered here before)...... 72's de Ken KG0WX |
