    My president Lincoln is on a dipole antenna because I live in a camper so a dipole is quickest to set up and take down.

    True....Do you have an analyzer? One of the best investments you can have imo...Never got into haven an inline watt meter and such,they cause loss..
    Mfj 259b or 269c
    Rig expert aa30 or aa30 zoom or even aa 55 zoom..
    I use mine every now and then to chk my set up..I dont have big $ set up but i like protecting what i do have..

    Yes I used to use and old dorsy meter and found out that analyzers work far better. Was a tad pricey to purchase but well worth it imo

    I have a dosey meter but not used it in a yr or so..Picked up a mfj 259b a few yrs back then a rig expert aa30 (sold it)then a aa 55 zoom to replace the 30..Once i get life all settled in after my move ill likely sell my mfj..Most liklely needs to be calibrated cause it is off a lil..
