Generally the WX here in SoCal has been great recently but I rather stubbornly decided to try a “portable” 2 element 10m Yagi on my local peak at a time and date that was far too windy (and frigidly old (by our standards)).
Clearly some work to do here and after I couldn’t get a descent SWR and endless trimming of lengths, once home I realized the boom length was 1/2 what the designer called for.
I’ll see what the weather holds for tomorrow (Saturday) and attempt another delpoyembt albeit with lessons learnt applied.
