After playing around with reconfiguring the autotransformer balun and trimmer caps, it really looks like my copper pipe dipole (meant for the 6 meter band) is too long. It really wants to resonate at 49 MHz and I can get the SWR down to ~1.2 at that frequency. I'll have to cut it some when I get time. 👍 #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

I've been using it on 6m prior to all this with a twin coax transformer that @DD8SF recommended and it's been fine. Pretty wild that it was too short all this time. :P
