Exciting news, fellow radio enthusiasts! π I just finished setting up my brand new 80/40 meter dual band dipole with traps, and let me tell you, it's a game changer! The noise floor has dramatically decreased, and I'm experiencing amazing clarity across the coast, with signal levels dropping from S-20 to S-30. It wasn't easy getting the SWR just right, as I had to fine-tune the angles and height, but it was totally worth it! This dipole performs exceptionally well on the low bands, plus I discovered it can also handle higher frequencies up to 10 meters with a tuner!
