Toot

My attitc fan dipole doesn't show low SWR anymore. I threw up a trapped dipole I built from a kit, but that was never tuned in free space, so it's no surprise that it doesn't work in the attic either.

I have an outdoor antenna, this is just for secondary use.

Stepping back to a 20m dipole that will be easier to mess with the length on.
