Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Sweep the frequency of the MFJ-259 and look for the frequency where the SWR is lowest. In general, this SWR will not be 1:1, but more like 3:1 or 4:1. This frequency is the resonant frequency of the element. You then cut or add wire to the horizontal portion of the wire element until the resonant frequency matches the design value. ................
