I forgot to mention that I also have a NanoVNA-F but it's not very convenient for outdoor use. I always use it with a PC using SaveVNA rather than struggle with its difficult interface.

I personally like the RigExpert SWR/Impedance meters. I have an AA-55 which covers 6 meters, but they are a bit pricey now at $260. Something like this is essential for any antenna work.

If you don't currently have a way to analyze, you're welcome to borrow my nanoVNA.

Subject: Re: [BVARC] New HAM needs assistance tuning a Butternut HV9V Antenna
Mark,
Do you have an antenna analyzer? I do not think it is realistically possible to tune that type of antenna without one. In general, I always start tuning a multi-band antenna on the lowest frequency, move up, and then go back down.

Hope that helps,

Is anyone using a Butternut HV9V antenna, preferably ground mounted with a radial plate ?
I have installed the antenna and would appreciate guidance on tuning it.
