| We also did a test with the new dipool from MFJ, this antenne ( the 1775 ) is built for 6 bands. 2 / 6 / 10 / 15 / 20 and 40 mtr !!
It's tuned, but this antenna will keep you busy for a few hours ;-).....
Just read the manuel and keep going !!
Now it is time to go outside and finish this MFJ dipool.
I'm wondering how it will work ??.....
Finaly, it's connected and the antenna is still on the garbage can, we had a high swr but after a wile it was tuned and operated from the garden and I make a Qso with G7HVO on 7.070 mhz s9...
Finaly there is some time to put the dipool (MFJ 1775) into the tower, when the tower was down I saw that my Tonna antenna did have some damage because of the storm we did have a few days ago... In some pictures you can see that the Tonna for 2 mtr is bent.. Of course I fixted this small problem.
It is a windy day but like all of us, it doesn't matter ;-) Keep going!!
The Tonna antenne is back in-line....
Yep, finaly the tower is ready and I put him up in the air where it belongs.
Well finaly we can operate with the Mfj 1775, now after amount of weeks I can tell you that the dipool is great!!! The only problem you have is when it starts to rain or snow..., when the water is getting intouch with the open coils you have a big problem... The total SWR is gone, not just a little bit, but 50 khz lower for every band!!! (even the tuner don't make it wright) So radio friends be aware of this problem because if you live in a country with a lot of rain (like Holland) just forget this dipool.. I allready replaced this dipool
