"Completed my antenna installation and so far I am happy with the contacts I am making.  I have the 20' antenna with the RT-600 tuner and yes I made sure the hot center conductor is feeding the top section. Right now I am using FT-8 but will try others later. I am mostly working 20, 30 and 40 Meters right now.

SWR results.

80 M         1.55
40 M          1.08
30 M          1.28
20 M          1.5
17 M          1.49
15 M          1.29
12 M          1.9
10 M          2.4
6 M            2.6
Please let me know what you think and if there are any tweaks to be made. I am using an Icom IC-7300 going thru an MFJ-849 wattmeter.
Thanks
Greg

Speaking of looking great, that garden installed Greyline Flagpole and the results you've shared are first-class. Congrats to you sir!

 

Greg's XYL let's him install the Greyline Flagpole Antenna in the garden. That's a happy wife. We'd bet your other half would rather you had a DX Flagpole too. Be like Greg. 

 
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:
  • "Real DX 160-6M at my HOA"
  • "4 Band DXCC in 3-months at my HOA."
  • "So pretty my XYL approves!"
  • "If I can hear it, I can work it."


Let's get you and your friends back on the air. Ham Radio is fun again! Pass it on...
