Yeah I made two ugly chokes and have those installed at the antenna feed point.

I inherited this antenna setup from my uncle. Made a lot of contacts UK, Australia just a few. But this antenna setup has been a rabbit hole ever sense I got it. I had several lengths of coax. Depending on how I hook up the jumpers between radio,amp,meter and my multi point antenna connection my...

Thanks Brandon.

Thanks shade tree that was what I was thinking but needed second opinion.

I emailed the owner designer of the L6. And the manual says the same thing. Leave both feed lines connected. But I think that’s is for tuning for lowest SWR in the shack. We know from many post here and other formats that you either connect the analyzer directly to feed point or a 1/4 wave...

Don’t use a switch. This is in the shack. See pic.

Should I remove both the feed lines to test for 50ohm match on the tuning stubs? Do I remove only the side I’m hooking the analyzer to?

Should I take the opposite side off to test the other.

Should I unhook my feed lines from the antenna to test with an analyzer? I have a quarter wave @27.205 length of coax connected to the analyzer with clips for connecting to the boom and tuning stubs.

I would verify the tolerance of the resistors are spot on. If you have a dummy load it will work for the 50 ohm

I used 1/4 watt but I don’t think it matters.

PL259 each resistor value. Solder one lead on center pin and the other to the shield housing. I may or may not have one of them in my parts bin. If I can find one I’ll post a picture.

I know my antenna system is spot on. When I check it @40.810 it’s 49 ohm but 27.205 is off the chart. I built the cal connectors and calibrated it when I first got it. But never figured out the test frequency discrepancy‍♂️

Thanks. I have this manual, maybe my issue with it wasn't fully understood. Look at the picture attached. The sark is showing the test frequency is 40.810 mhz. Connected to a frequency counter it is actually putting out 27.206 mhz. they should match. Right?
