We did a 4 day 3 night trip on California’s Lost Coast, follow a long and see some awesome views. Ido some radio and made a contact to South America but didn’t have a lot of time for radio .
@fm71450 is wondering if a 49:1 balun is required for 50 ohm coax. 49:1 is the most common ratio, but is it the best?

Johan, VK6BLY, is wondering if the rumor about raised radials needing to be tuned is true. The radials with the superantenna don’t seem to change at all on the ground or in the air.
