    The earth is flat dude. I'm saying think of the world schematic that the bible talks about... then think of that 2D depiction an evolving timewave. Pilots can see cities hundreds of miles away. The only thing the flat earth guys really get wrong is they're not thinking 4th dimension. NASA is a total scam. Freaking cash cow bringing in what, something like $43 million a day. And they give you CGI, astro-nots with wire bulges on green screen. Lying tong of NASA. Until the collapse... oh well.

    Hello sir from the Philippines. This is another great project you've made. The SWR is good all the way up the upper 27 MHz. band. Anyway, just a hypothetical question. What do you think is the SWR at around 28.500 MHz.?

    I tuned a dipole antenna I made back around 2008 with 12G copper wire I got from Lowe's using the SWR meter. I checked the SWR on Ch 1 and on Ch 40 and kept checking and trimming until it was around the same on Ch 1 and Ch 40. I ended up with a 1.1 match between 1-40 and 1.2-.1.3 going 10 channels each way.
