Using the antenna tuner in my Yaesu FT450d I am able to successfully load it on 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6m. The antenna works quite well in some cases better then the 1/4 verts and I totall credit it sitting on a 120' tower ...its really a very steep gravel hill!
40 Meters
Actual VSWR no tuner 3.6:1
Ran MMANA for resonance ....
8.3 MHz
7.1 MHz
SWR is 49:1 , in reality its 3.6:1 but the modelling software has it resoant not too much higher in freq.
On 30 M
Actual VSWR no tuner 3.1:1
The software models it at 18.7:1 at 10.1 MHz
Ran MMANA for resonance but it found it around 19 MHz with a 50:1 VSWR..
On 20 M
Actual VSWR no tuner 2.1:1
The software models it at 17.2:1 at 10.1 MHz
Ran MMANA for resonance but it found it around 15.1 MHz with a 3:1 VSWR..
On 17 M
Actual VSWR no tuner 2.1:1
The software models it at 4.1:1 at 18.1 MHz
On 15 M
Actual VSWR no tuner 1.5:1
The software models it at 6:1 at 21.1 MHz
On 10 M
Actual VSWR 28 no tuner 1.4:1
The software models it at 4.8 :1 at 28.0 MHz
On 6 M
Actual VSWR 50 no tuner 1.5:1
The software models it at 6.3 :1 at 50 MHz
