Poor reports ? Antenna Fault ? Traps off-tune ? Storm Damage ?

Check FAST with an
ANTENNA  NOISE  BRIDGE, Measure RESONANCE 1-160 MHz and RADIATION RESISTANCE 2-1000 ohms (50 ohms mid-scale) without transmitting, no 10 second limit, measure inside and outside the amateur bands, find where it is 50 ohms, get accurate answers directly, no confusion with harmonics, no frequency pulling, also adjust your ATU, measure phasing lines, RF resistance and hence Q of loading coils, preamplifier matching or use it as a noise generator, transceiver protected, needs 9V dc or internal battery, 4x7x13 cm, 250 g.
