Additional version of the RoomCap Antenna:

2 band version for 20m and 30m.

Here are the measured values:

SWR when antenna is set for  30 m:

    SWR      Frequency
    2.0         10.010
    1.8         10.028
    1.6         10.044
    1.4         10.060
    1.2         10.080
    1.1         10.095
    1.0         10.106
    1.0         10.145
    1.1         10.155

    1.8         10.228
    2.0         10.255

SWR when antenna is set for 20 m:

    SWR      Frequency
    2.5         14.000
    2.0         14.030
    1.5         14.076
    1.3         14.105
    1.2         14.118

    2.0         14.295
    2.5         14.350

Values measured with MFJ-269 with 1.5m coax between 
antenna and feedpoint, measured on 1.5.2006

The SWR position 1.0 can be set for any frequency
within the band. 

By using the Remote Frequency Adjustement (RFA), the
SWR 1.0 is changed from 14.000 to 14.300 within 3 seconds.
 
This antenna version as well as the RFA are part
of the construction guide.

The picture of this antenna, as well as of the RFA are found
on my homepage (Google : hb9abx ).
