Sorry about the post. Jay is correct you have the antenna setup right. No need for a balun unless it's for CMC issues. I see how the radials are now. Took me a bit. Been a long day. Been up with my father since 2am. He has Alzheimer's disease. Like I said, It's been a long day for me!! The antenna looks good Matt and like Jay Mojave stated, a little trimming and you most likely could get a pretty flat or near flat VSWR. Not that a 1.3:1 is shabby by any means! You should be fine with that antenna and the height that it's at!! Have fun with it! And happy DX'ing, what little there is!! Catch it while you can. Been getting a lot of island activity here. Ol Witch Doctor and a few others in the islands have been coming into FL. Some Cali and up north stuff occasionally as well. I have just been sand bagging myself. The locals are back out again here which is a good thing as well. Hopefully you have some locals near you as well. Makes for good times when the DX is dead!! Anyways. The antenna looks good and should work well. Like I said, have fun with it!!! And have a good day. Also thx Jay for making me look again at the antenna, as I was out of it most of the day. I see now what I missed!! Hope all is well your way.
