  • Well, after taking everything apart, Ox-Gard, seal a split in the coil housing, SWR went over 3.0 again. Five hours before, I made contact with Fire Station in Long Beach with a 1.1 SWR. I don't but somethings obviously going to change.

    Nice antenna! Hope you find the problem. Sounds like it’s thermal.
    I stored a really nice Mosley base antenna in my garden shed for several years. A bag of 12-12-12 fertilizer got onto some elements. That stuff ate holes in several aluminum poles. Now I have to see if they have replacements. 😞 I may never learn!

      You can also check the local salvage yards. They get a lot of aluminum tubing and even though it may not be exact it will definitely do the job and no one can see it from the ground anyway.

    Hello buddy, very nice antenna which is a great basis of aluminium :) Hope to buy a Yagi Antenna soon but there aren't much suppliers around Europe and when it comes to shipping. Cheers my friend and take care 73!

      The Yagi I have is a Sirio which is actually out of Italy. Maybe you can get one on that side and save on shipping. 🤞✌✌
