Subject: C3/C4-VSWR Specs

My experience is similar -- the antennas meet or exceed specs on all bands.

I'm a little puzzled by the premise of the question -- what is "too high,"
and on what bands? Anything under 2:1 is easily matched by most
transceivers and amplifiers, and doesn't impose significant coax losses if
the length is reasonable and/or if low-loss coax (like 75-ohm CATV is used.
The 2:1 SWR bandwidth on 40 meters is a little narrower than the popular
Cushcraft 40-2CD, which is a 25-30 percent bigger antenna.
