[450] Woody is loopy...

[djmay at comcast.net]

I must have just missed you guys.  I'm getting a  1.4 - 1.5  SWR over the 50.1 - 50.4  frequency range.  It wouldn't sink any further, even when standing alone on the mast. That's not too bad and I can use the radio's internal antenna tuner, also. I also was able to get the 2m stacked pair up on that mast, so now I shouldn't have to take that mast down again. I was able to sink the stacked pair dead flat.  I'm going to see if I can get the 10m halo up on the other mast today (I'll have to drop it , of course,) and then I'll be done !!  (For now.)  I'm also going to forego the guy wires and use the threaded rod for supports, as you suggested.  I can see this will be very beneficial with the 20 ft. mast that has the 6m halo and stacked pair on it.

Did it "sink" nicely on the low end of the band? 
Bandwidth enough to happily cover 50-50.4? 
Rich and I were on at 11:00 and hoped to hear it. 
Rich would be a good test.

 Yes, Bob, it's up and tuned.  I was on from about 8 - 11 last night, but only heard Larry in 
there on 2m.  I went on 6m very briefly and spoke with KB1UFO (Bristol, CT)  and heard a QSO 
between him and K0XXX  (Arkansas,)  although Arkansas was in the back of the box.

Hey!  What happened?  Any luck with the loop?
