I had need to throw up the sotabeams 20m dipole here at home while I am operating as VI4LWF a special event call sign for the Armistice Day celebrations. I wondered why the autotuner went bonkers when i keyed up for the first time and so i thought i should take a look at it on the VNA, well it looks little on the long side to me, especially when operating up around 14.310 where most VKFF activators congregate. Its not bad, it just could be better.
