To work effectively and present a good combination with the transceiver, the Ha-HF-1000 must be used with a counterweight of an appropriate length for each band. Although the nominally correct length for a counterweight is a quarter of wavelength, it is necessary to note that the optimal length of the counterweight depends a lot on the antenna situation, on how close to the ground and on what other ground (like the power cables) is present. The effect of the length of the whisk on the resonance frequency is also very strong. Therefore it is likely that you will discover that different values work better for you. This also explains the differences between this graphic designer and the following using a tape meter counterweight, which was made at a different moment and in a different situa.
