    You know that you can tune your setup to, say, a 1:1 (i.e. an ideal perfect match) and when a BIG TRUCK drives right by you while you TX, your SWR goes WAYYYYY UP, because the signal is reflecting off of the BIG TRUCK... LOL!!!

    That is why it is recommended to tune your setup in a fairly wide open area. I think the recomendation while tuning is:
    1) no "tall structures" within about 35ft (i.e. even your own body is not to be near the antenna)
    2) no high power lines
    3) ALL doors/tail gates shut... even the hood (if open)

    It can get a bit involved. Fortunately, I get a SWR of about 1.5 to 1.7 consistently. Pretty good and typical. So I'm happy with my setup.

    Hope this helps.

    Everyone have a good evening. Gotta get the beauty sleep and the paycheck constantly updated, if you get my meaning. No check, no truck, no fun!!!

    I knew it was right because I couldn't stop laughing when I was making it.

    First band is Cherry Glazerr. Ron's part is Max Ritcher, he does the music for that show "The Leftovers".

    Thanks for sharing the vid. I was the white DCSB in front of you in the first part of the video . I had lots of fun and it was nice meeting you, along with so many other TW members out there on the trail .
