so i decided im putting back up my HF antenna, doing it all new! I'm excited.
@freemo Cool!
In August I'm planning to put up a 2m/70cm J pole. I want to try measuring it with a NanoVNA to see whether it has low enough SWR to also be usable at 1.25m. I suspect not, but it seems worth checking.
@brouhaha SWR tells you nothing about its suitability for a particular frequency.. Remember a 50 ohm resistor is 1:1 SWR and a dipole fed with a ladder line is a good performer even at 10:1 SWR
@freemo My transceiver isn't rated for 10:1, though. I'll have to look up the specs. If the measured SWR exceeds to transceiver specs, at least I'll know not to try it.
