DX Commander setup - July 2024
Multi-band antenna setup, with elements for 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m, (30m) and 40m.
Nano VNA traces shown below from 6 to 15 MHz and 4 to 30 MHz.
The BTV antenna (lower) also covers 30m so I'll probably extend the
DX Commander 30m element to cover 60m as an inverted-L.
16 radials also prepared,ranging from 3 to 5 metres long.
The traces below won't be totally accurate but I plan to tune the
antenna again when it's in situ.
