[450] second stage progress

[Thomas & Patricia Moore]

These yours Bob, or for the echolink as was planned long ago (pending John's treehouse demolition)?  My offer of the 33' telescoping mast for them still stands if needed.  Pipe

Bottom loop at 52 ohms/zero reactance.

Late in the game, as I was noticing that the "sweet spot" became the most "finicky" spot, I decided to just "tug" on the "end spacing" (something I've used often to get where I wanted to be), and sure enough, it would have been easier to spread the ends a bit.
Too late now, as I had set them at M2s "nominal" 3" assuming if I kept everything "SAME" I would achieve more phase perfect results.  I probably could have added about 1/4"-1/2" to both and ended up at closer to 50 ohm where I wanted it.

No matter, for now....both loops are identical now in their permanent positions on the mast.

Time to see if I have to start all over after adding the harness....we shall see.
