Thanks. So my plan is to shorten the whip some more, intention to see if I can get to a point where I can be good for 10/11 meters. Did some playing yesterday up and down.....so as you can see on 28.040 got good reading for x, but swr up. So I'm going to try a shorter whip and run an swr graph to check dip for resonance, and recheck......will let you know. Thinking maybe antenna position not the best, but guess we will see. Trying to see if I can get close to the center of 10/11 and run a chart and some figured. Worst case, it goes back the way it was and I do something else for 10 m. General word, and what I've been seeing is that tuning to best swr dip should pretty much give me what I need, thinking that the sirio should come in to this area, especially looking at this last screen. Just a matter of keeping set and xwithin decent limits. So, back to work.[ATTACH=full]72675[/ATTACH]
