6 Meter vertical completed. With BVARC help and info: new height legnth , new radials legnth, 1" wide x 5" long loading coil..... thank you! Currently bottom of antenna is up only 10 feet off ground (all the height I have at present). SWR...... shows 1.3 @ 50.125 with power set at 25% using LDG AT-100Pro Autotuner. No contacts heard but band may be quiet at the moment. I'm hoping for the best.
