Shockwave antenna goin up today ..

I want to give some things out to the people that helped Chris at BM Technologies and John james on shockwave antenna on facebook and most of all Mr rainmaker at Rainmaker Customz for the big help tuning the coax .. if you buy one of them for the first part get your coax right. .. next get your jumpers right it will be a big help . Next on the antenna 42 inch on the dot . I hope this helps you guys out ...

Now if you wanted to optimize your 5/8 performance, remove the top hat. Set the antenna radiator to 22' 2" - I usually slide a red or yellow rubber cap over the tip.
Retune the matching trombones (you might have to make a longer one for the hot side) - Usually *about* 31.5" from the bolt to the center of the curve of the trombone.
Isolate the base of the 5/8 from the metal pole with a solid 1.5" or so by 6-8 foot long fiberglass rod, leaving 18" of the fiberglass exposed so you can wrap 5½ tight turns of your coax on a 4" diameter tube of gray PVC and placed at about the middle of the 18" of fiberglass and about 9"-10" below the 5/8 radials.
Do this and you'll get more energy radiated in the low angle, a perfect SWR & Zero Reactance (X) with any power level and less RF into yours and your neighbor's homes.
You're Welcome 😉

Awesome looking antennas

[@sleeve8651]

For the amount of SWR showing, any losses you might have would be negligible !
And sure won't be noticed on the other fellas receiver !
Should'a just started your radio fun !
Instead of worrying about trying to land a 1.1 SWR !
Wish you would have shown more about how you made the tilt mast !
IMHO !
🤔...?
JUST SAY'N !

Can't see the r and x.... which is more important than the swr

[@fastchevys137]

i never seen this

[@davejohnson8656]

How do you figure out what length jumpers you need? My swrs are almost 2

[@3madeamps]

Look up your coax velocity factor for 1 or use a mfj meter a set the coax x to o
