OK, I messed with the beam for about 3 hours Sun. I started out with stock lengths and no pigtail to get a baseline, it was terrible 4.3 on Channel 1 and 3.4 on 40 so I took it down and installed the pigtail just for giggles. I still had a 4.3 on 1 and then ended up with a 4.7 on 40. The next...

Your prolly right but it is kinda personal.

Will do, been workin overtime so havent had time to mess with it but I will when I get time and thanks again.

I have the manual and have read it so many times the pages are almost wore out...lol

I definitely do not recommend putting the rotor that way, I have learned a couple things since then...lol

Here she was in all her glory when I had it up before.

Well you dont seem to want to let go of yours....lol

Also I see you say in the model you isolated the mast but I am unclear how I would do that with a tower install. Just cant wrap my head around that.

Good stuff Marconi, very thorough and I imagine time consuming but well worth by the looks of your worksheets.

Yes, full SSB audio, Yes Full AM carrier, and yes I can adjust the AM carrier level.

You know what I did not make notes and I always tell myself that I need to do that next time and I never do. I could be wrong and I will work on it this weekend if I do not have to work and I will post the results, I promise I will take notes this time..lol

Forgot to answer your question, yes it has a male on one end and a female on the other.

I was kinda thinking the dual 59u would maybe make 35 ohms but was un clear, thanks.

I'll check that out, maybe tomorrow after work.

Put in the SB525 that Exit Thirteen sent me and still no AM audio :headbang

Yes I would like to how the quad is fed, I might just build one and scrap the astrobeam rebuild.

Just wonder why mine has a 6' RG83U pigtail which is 35ohm and it says in the manual a 6' dual 59U? I would like to see a picture of this Dual 59U pigtail.

A galaxy 959 is not an export.

Good job, is the quad a homebrew?

I used my MFJ 259B to tune and as per manual with the stock length on the driven stinger of 77 5/8" it was resonant at 26.025. I am looking for the 11 meter band.
