Based on my field installed beverages experience, I would say this is exactly what I always read on my ant analyzer. Ground and local air/bush moisture level changes, like after rain or such, will affect readings too.
I would do optimization only if this installation was permanent and you have the time and tools available. 73 Mark, PA5MW -----Original Message----- From: Topband <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ashraf Chaabane Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2018 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Topband: Beverage Antenna Tuning Hi All I measured the SWR in my beverage antenna; the SWR fluctuates between 1.5 and 3 in a range of 1.8 to 7 MHz. (See: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9AtNpPfAOUMRDNsaXROMG1VUTg?usp=shar ing ) I know SWR should not vary too much. However, some people are suggesting adjusting the termination resistor. Others suggest checking the transformer number of windings for a good match. What shall I do? 73 Ash 3V8SS/KF5EYY _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
