#96 Youtuber's Bunch QRPGuys Triband Build Results and Tuning

How about unwinding Torroids? With some help from the YTB gang and K6ARK, I get this thing whipped into shape. Check out how inside.

Where possible, all links are affiliate links, this youtube thing is an expensive endeavor and every little bit helps.

Your loop trick you learned sailing I learned from a retired Brigadier General (Air Force) who taught it to me as a way of winding extension cord. Cool vid! Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will get my NanoVNA first so I can visualize where I am at so I know the VSWR will be moving in the right direction. It sucks that the toroids have to be soldered down first, the build guide doesn't emphasize this enough as it is a strong possibility by design, LOL. Cheers, Dave - KU9L

Question about the swr on 40m...the toroids should not have an effect on 40m's correct? Both switches up should bypass the toroids and link directly to the wire right?
