Hi Norm, N3YFK Are you sure that your Antenna Analyzer Times T-100 is reading a correct VSWR and R+/-jX impedance at 435 MHz ? My MFJ-269 connected to a professional 50 ohm termination goog up to 18 GHz reads VSWR = 1.2 :1 but unfortunately the MFJ-269 do not read R+/-jX impedance above 144 MHz

Commercial AM radio was acting strange this morning. A station that I only receive at night time (DX) was covering a daytime station that I don't usually have an issue with. That was backwards to what I thought would happen during a solar event. Chris KQ6UP On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 10:34 AM, w
