Hi All! I got a stealth loop about 6 months ago, but its been in the box since I was just unable to get a decent SWR out of it, on any band. Its supposed to work on the ground...mine doesn't, SWR of 2:1 on 40m and 3:1 or worse on 20m, same when I put it on our car's roof. I've recently dug it out to finally try and work out why its not working, got it all setup, and like before, unusable on 20m (SWR of > 3:1) when on the ground, and SWR of 1.8:1 on 40m when on the ground. I've tried winding the feet in and out, but seriously, that gives me maybe 10mm play, and neglible effect on SWR. Does anybody else have any ideas of what could be wrong? I'm at my wits end....I'm just not seeing why its not working, unless there is fundamentally something wrong with it. The capacitor plates are all very neatly spaced, so am at a loss....
Thanks in advance for any advice!
