Using schematic plans from the internet, I made a folded dipole antenna for 2 meters out of copper wire instead of copper tubing. I am getting rather bizzare readings from the MFJ-269 antenna analyzer, though. Here is a sample of the readings:
MFJ-269 Readings
Frequency / SWR / Rs / Xs
134.000 / 1.1 / 38 / 0
140.000 / 1.2 / 37 / 0
144.000 / 1.5 / 33 / 5
145.000 / 1.7 / 29 / 0
146.000 / 1.8 / 25 / 0
147.000 / 1.9 / 21 / 0
148.000 / 2.0 / 18 / 0
152.000 / 1.9 / 25 / 0
156.000 / 1.5 / 46 / 20
159.000 / 1.5 / 49 / 22
I have no idea what to make of this. Bad soldering job, of where I soldered the shieldings together? Bad RG8X cable (22 feet long)? Is it because I used copper wire instead of copper tubing? Faulty meter? Some combination of these? What did I do wrong?
