<div dir="ltr">Another thing I'm looking forward to see is, whenever I get on the new brackets & masts up, as its gonna snow or rain again this weekend, is if the 2 meter beam is skewing the pattern & making for the bizarre swr curves. Time for a new meter here this ones from late 90s :-/<br></div><div id="DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><table style="border-top:1px solid #aaabb6;margin-top:30px">

So I went to the roof in a rush to get this done before the snow squall came in, and sure enough I took it down and tapped that bottom part a ledge as you see where the antenna is leaning and it slid down and I connected the pin and stud via the allen screws, laid out the new coax and dropped it down. I have to say, It's hears surprisingly well, so much so I'm getting intermod on 2 meters now its not horrendous but a nu-sense, and mount beacon is full scale to 40 over, never heard it at all with a vertical, only when the beam was vertically polarized. I'm seeing its give and take at the moment, the swr has very sharp curves at specific frequencies move up one and its a 2.0 move down 15kc and its 1.2 and the other way around & towards the upper part of the band on 2 its weird, if I put the meter for high power the swrs are normal all around, if I have it set for checking 30 watts and under the swr is jumping, so which is actual is questionable at the moment. Mt carmel repeater is about 10 over and beacon is well you know, it use to be full scale on the x30 until it went caterwampers. I'm not complaining though, for the time being its receiving really well in many areas and 95% of the repeaters I use to access are back and much stronger. Gotta see on the next trip up about getting this swr issue resolved, its certainly a hell of a lot better than it was, but still needs a little woyk. Thats the story gents.<br></div></div>
