Thanks Hal,
We did not make the coil ..I didnt have enough coax... The antenna
loads up very well..The SWR is 1.5 or less from 1.804 to 1.855..200 watts
didnt cause Rf problems..I will put a little more in the line from the
AL-82and see if there is any stray Rf problems... Have a safe trip ..
Tim Kc8uhe
