A Little Disappointed

I put up the DX-88 together to have a good test run with my new IC-765. I did not bother too much in adjusting the parameters; they were quite good last time. Consequently, the SWR is far from impressive on most bands. It even seems to oscillate on some bands, eg. 30 meters. Hmm…

I do not want to spend my time now doing too many measurements. I leave it for the future. I also whish to make some tests using various radial systems. For example, is it better to have many short radials or is it better to have a few long ones? We will see…
