The other night I was sitting in a location playing with my VX-8R and SRH789 antenna. It was setup to receive APRS on channel B and I was receiving contacts.
Then I started listening to shortwave on channel A. This wasn’t coming in very good, so I attached a long SW wire to the SRH789 antenna. The short wave began to come in better. And here is the interesting part, so did the APRS.
I have no way of knowing what the SWR is on this setup.
What would have happened if I tried to TX APRS with that configuration?
