TW2010

The first intersection of good weather and free time was Monday. So I set up the TW2010 and hooked up the MFJ antenna analyzer. I bought the antenna in late January as a replacement to my Force 12 Sigma 5. Before Monday, I did not have an opportunity to test it out. When the weather was good I was busy. When I had free time, the weather was lousy. Well this last Monday the weather was good and I had free time.

The Antenna looks good. The only place the SWR was a little high was 17 meters (1.6:1). However, in retrospect this may have been due to the facts that I set up the antenna less than 20 feet from car and I did not feed the coax at a 45 degree angle to the antenna. When I get to St. Martin I will set it up properly. If the SWRs are still high, I can always use my tuner.
