Default Comm Ant. Top or Bottom?


BTW, what makes you think that I have a high SWR? Normally sailplane
communicate with their crews and other sailplanes on 123.3 or 124.5 MHz.
I have tuned my antenna for 123.3 MHz At that frequency the SWR is 1.2
to 1. At the extremes of the comm frequencies it does not exceed 2 to 1.



I do not find 124.5 as a legal sailplane frequency in my copy of the FCC
regs. Mind giving me a pointer to it?

BTW, snippety doo-dah, snippety aye is a GOOD thing to do.
