NanoVNA Web on Chrome

 Today I got my NanoVNA connected to my Ubuntu Linux Laptop and used NanoVNA Web to interact with the interface.  This is awesome and allows you to set the Nano VNA down and work with something larger.

Below are some screenshots of the NanoVNA plotting SWR/Resistance on my Slinktenna for bands 160m - 6m.  All bands are tune-able with my Yaesu FT-991 ATU as the highest SWR is 1:2.39, but I also run a MFG-939Y. 👌😁💪


Bands: 160m - 20m

Dipole Antenna with 1:1 Voltage Balun

So I wanted to create my first dipole antenna for HF reason communication. I bought a 1:1 Voltage Balun DIY lot from Amazon for $22 with prime.

I initially implemented it incorrectly as the first picture shows then corrected it in the second. In the end I was able to work 6-40m using my MFJ-939Y external tuner. 

Now the plan is to get it installed in the attic. Sometime this fall after the heat does down 😉.
