Hi folks.
Its up this morning in air
Got the support bridge on
Not hearing a lot and found the local beacon 50m west of me and did a spin test.
Beam width appears to be about 60' as when on the beacon its S6 and go out side the the beam width and its GONE
SWR 144300 is well low 1:1 and on 145500 about 1.2
On old Yagi barely S2
Quite happy with that
Also noted the FM noise off old 6 El was about S1 on this beam its S4
And that chuffing noise to south of me increased as well on 144300ssb
Oh yes great in it build it ya self and get it on air and make the contacts on a Home brewed antennas. This one be the latest of many I have done over the years
