news  Intrigueing sub line, pray tell what the picture is? It shows a kit of parts, consisting of some heavy-duty circular jubilee clips and brackets, a long pole with a black part on it circled in red, various smalls screws and an Allen key, and a printed parts list. These are laid out on what looks like a tiled lino floor. |

Oh, I see, and one also needs to ask as resonant lengths are known for 27Mhz
how come one has to trim it in the first place. Given a good cable the vswr should be pretty optimal unless somebody has put it very close to something else or has a particularly fussy rig.

If I get correct piece of kit, I expect it to be cock on. |
