Hi,

I'm in the process of building a double bazooka antenna for 10m and I when I'm checking the antenna on the Sark-100 meter, the SWR is between 1.0 and 1.3 but 0 Omhz.

Is this normal? I know as it's a bazooka, it needs to be shorted but it should at least show 50 Ohms.

Whilst moving through the other bands, all I could see was very high swr but with impedance between 35 and 200.

Can anybody advice if this is right?

Thanks
