Now that spring is here and the snow is gone, I performed a little maintenance on my A-99 antenna.

Hey Ridge - still waiting for the retest on the Tram !

Ground your pipe. I'd use a 6 or 8 foot copper pipe in the ground and have a few inches up for connecting your ground wire to it 👍
@gjbevil
SWR is between 1.1 and 1.4 to 1? That is excellent! I have a protron 99 antenna and I can't get better than 2.0-1. I just ordered the Solarcon A-99 and hope that makes the difference.

Instead of routing your coax through the brick like you've done,try loosely hanging your excess coax in a loop, your swr may drop a bit. Having sharp turns in your coax can add resistance. I treat RF as if it's water, and the coax as acting like a hose.
