Re: [DX-CHAT] Antenna Analyzer
This would be a excellent club project - purchase a decent one and have it available for temporary loan.. 73, Gary K7ZD On 10/16/2011 12:55 PM, DAVE WHITE wrote: Hi John - try one of these http://www.rigexpert.com/index?s=aa54 an order of magnitude better than the MFJ Dave G0OIL - Original Message - *From:* jcowe...@comcast.net <mailto:jcowe...@comcast.net> *To:* WWDXC <mailto:ww...@yahoogroups.com> *Cc:* DX Chat <mailto:dx-chat@njdxa.org> ; Towertalk <mailto:towert...@contesting.com> *Sent:* Sunday, October 16, 2011 7:29 PM *Subject:* [DX-CHAT] Antenna Analyzer I need an antenna analyzer that provides impedance information.

Hi John - try one of these http://www.rigexpert.com/index?s=aa54 an order of magnitude better than the MFJ Dave G0OIL - Original Message - From: jcowe...@comcast.net To: WWDXC Cc: DX Chat ; Towertalk Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2011 7:29 PM Subject: [DX-CHAT] Antenna Analyzer I need an antenna analyzer that provides impedance information.
