Initially we raised his fiberglass pole up about 35 feet. Guy wires were attached and the antenna with coax attached was raise up to approximately 25-30 feet. This effort took about 2 hours under brilliant sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulling out his MFJ Analyzer, Pierre checked the SWR on those two bands. The photos below show that Pierre did a great job in cutting the antenna to the correct length. Congratulations, Pierre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"871\" height=\"1030\" src=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna-871x1030.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4424\" style=\"width:660px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna-871x1030.jpg 871w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna-768x909.jpg 768w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna-596x705.jpg 596w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pierres-antenna.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/VNA-is-ready.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4425\" style=\"width:660px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/VNA-is-ready.jpg 602w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/VNA-is-ready-280x300.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"874\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/80-meter-SWR.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4426\" style=\"width:664px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/80-meter-SWR.jpg 874w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/80-meter-SWR-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/80-meter-SWR-768x717.jpg 768w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/80-meter-SWR-705x658.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 874px) 100vw, 874px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"905\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4427\" style=\"width:668px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR.jpg 905w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-768x777.jpg 768w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-697x705.jpg 697w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/islandhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/40-meter-SWR-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 5th, Pierre VE7NRO and Glenn VA7HC went to the Gorge Park to test Pierre&#8217;s trap dipole antenna on 80 and 40 meters.
