This is video #2 on my DX Commander all-band vertical installation which is a semi-permanent set-up at home. This short video shows my experiences with SWR readings across the bands at both initial build and final installation. Excellent results! Hope this is useful.

Please note, all SWR measurements were taken in the shack and not at the base of the antenna.

There are four further videos about this installation, plus other amateur/ham radio related videos on this ianxfs channel. Feel free to browse and subscribe 👍🏻
