<< Hi,
Has Dave attempted to make a determination of just where his EF180 "is"
resonant at? Unless he's done that he has no basis to begin tuning his
antenna, or to make a judgement with regard to any factor about its
operation or lack thereof. 73 Roy WA4DOU >>


Roy is right on the money. I have had a 180A, 180S, and now 180C. They
work! If you can't find a resonance somewhere near design there has to be a
mechanical mistake. I will say that when you add the switch box to any of
these, it changes things "down" quite a bit and it is necessary to move the
jumpers out. This is a pain in that they are often not reachable. Tip
#1--start further out than the manual says when you have a switch box, and
tip #2 (as most already know) orient the antenna in line with the BOOM of
other near by antennas.
