Subject: XR-5 15m vswr
Author: Gavin Taylor GM0GAV <gm0gav@hfdx.co.uk>

Hi,
 
I have just put up an XR-5 at 60ft. It works fine, the vswr is OK on all bands except 15m.
 
The minimum vswr is on 21180, reading 1.6
On 21010 it is 1.9, not clever as I am a cw operator...
 
Feeder is 180ft of LDF5-50. The alignment of the 15m driver looks fine.
It is the only antenna on a self supporting crankup, so not down to interaction.
 
Has anyone seen similar problems on 15m? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
