[bars] 40 M antenna results

[Mark N]

Hello Part,

I just finished with the antenna build and have to say that the results
were very good! In almost all but one band edge, the SWR was less than 2:1
with many closer to 1.5:1. I finished around 6:00 and tuned into 20 meters
to see how it sounded. The number of signals were much higher than I get
with my vertical and it seemed to be much more sensitive than I'm used to.
I went on FT8 for a few minutes and worked Switzerland within 2 minutes.
I'm curious how others are making out with the build and with their
results.

I hope you are feeling well Bob, rest up and great job on this design!
