Subject: Sigma 40XK
Author: Kjeld Holm <kh@kh-translation.dk>

Hello All,

I just installed the Sigma 40XK on a wooden structure on my lawn close to a
brick house and with the lower T-bar 7 feet (2 meter) up for the purpose of
been able to walk on the lawn below it. The antenna is also just about 7
feet from a 18 feet tower (metal) with 4 x 6 elm for 2 meters.

On 20 meters I have SWR 1:2.5 at the bottom of the band slowly rising to
1:2.8 at the upper band limit. Is this what I have to expect being so close
to other structures? Or do you have any suggestions?

On 40 meters I spend some time fidling wiht the coils but could not get any
resonable results that's why I resort to 20 meters.

PS The manual says SWR 1:1.3 for 20 meters.
