Afternoon,
Trying to use a springer on my van but the swr is only low on 10m,
I need a good SWR on 10m for when I go on VW meets so we can all keep in touch.
I have it on a new triple magmount, tried other cb antennas and still no joy, also tried other mounts
The springer obviously needs to be longer to drop the frequency but why? It's not easy adding length to the whip
If I put a pice of wire from the bottom of the coil to the last turn of the coil then the swr drops, I expected it to increase as it would short the coil.
