Always interesting to see the things people come up with. How do you tune it and what is your SWR ? Enjoy !

Thanks.Tuned close to flat 1:1.2 across all 40, I made a boo-boo however at first when I wired it up though. I used a solderless 4-point nut and bolt connection for the lower radials and had tied the center conductor to ground. After I corrected that, I just shortened the top radial a bit to tune. To test, I slipped the pvc mast over a piece of steel pipe supported by a 3’ round wooden cable spool set on it’s end. I could easily lift the mast out of the center hole of the spool, rest it on a step ladder, and make my adjustments.
