Tweaking Inverted Dipole Antenna using X5105

I did a prior video on an Inverted Dipole Antenna. This is what I did later on to improve the performance of the original antenna. The original had no reception in the 20 meter band. So I wondered if I could tweak an antenna tuned for 40 meters so it would have a reasonable SWR for 20 meters. Watch the video for the results!

I have a Xiegu X5105 which comes with an SWR scanner for a given bandwidth. Awesome tool. So you can easily analyze issues. And I didn't need to get an Antenna Tuner. All built in.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no perfect antenna. NVIS would be useful in an emergency situation. I use a DX Commander multi-band vertical, and I’m very happy with it.
