Another complete abortion. It isnt even vertical, stupid.

It all might have to come down anyway as the SWR is sky high. I am going
to pick up a calibration meter from Maplins at 1000h and if that doesn't
fix it, it may be due to the antenna coax being 10m long, in which case,
I will have to move it closer and put it on the conservatory roof with a
shorter cable instead.

Might be due to it being a mobile antenna that's meant to have a ground
plain.



Try running a few wires, at least as long as the antenna, from the
mounting pointing (so they are connected to the coax connector 'shell')
down at an angle of about 45 degrees. Under the eaves, tucked under
tiles etc is fine. Ideally, have them all around but if you have a
'gap', it should still work. Insulated wire is ok.

A long coax doesn't cause high SWR. If anything, it can mislead you into
thinking you have a good match due to losses in the coax, assuming you
measure SWR at the tx (as most people do).


Don't worry about it being not quite vertical, RF wise it will make no
difference.

Made a bit of a schoolboy howler with the antenna though. The SWR reading was sky high which was down to the fact that I had bought a mobile antenna designed to be used on a car roof, which uses the metal as a ground plane. Just ordered a Sirio 827 instead to replace it.

I thought about it in the 1970's, but the CW put me off as my mind was too analytical and you need a musical brain to read fast Morse.

Now I have the spare time, the CW has gone and I could pass the theory, 10/15/20/40 are all dead. 80/160 have the same OMs on private nets and VHF/UHF are dead.

Musical types can do it in a weekend.

The proper correlation is to innate musical ability, particularly as regards rhythm. I have known very intelligent folks, but with little or no musical talent, who had enormous difficulty with the code. Musical types (particularly drummers) picked it up in a weekend.

It is basically just a set of rhythm patterns. My guess is that most members of a typical inner-city drum corps could, if properly motivated, do 5wpm or better in 48 hours. I learned it at age 12, very easily, and was also taking drum lessons. 60 years later I still do both music and code.

Perhaps a better correlation yet would be what we call "playing by ear" - you quickly get a feel for it. More than mere memory but less than a conscious mental process.

radials.

Thought you might have spotted that the channel frequencies are wrong

Surely Ch19, 27.125MHz, is one of those new-fangled EU/CEPT CB channels

Nothing to fix. 27.185 (which is what I meant to put) is one of the
now-legal CEPT frequencies.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cxml4a6WIAE39M9.jpg

For 27MHz, the radials should be a quarterwave long (about 9 feet).
Those certainly don't seem to be anything like it. Even a single
quarterwave radial will probably be much better than that wrecked
umbrella affair.

But how long is the aerial? It looks like it's at least a halfwave. If
it IS a halfwave, radials probably won't make much difference. On the
other hand, if it's a 5/8-wave or (heaven forbid) a 3/4-wave, you WILL
need the radials - but, again, they should be about a quarterwave long.

It is 5/8, so they are staying on.
