Ever wondered how the tides affect antenna performance? We put a 6BTV vertical antenna to the test! In this video, the antenna is mounted on a dock and we track its SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) as the tides rise and fall. See firsthand how the changing water level impacts the antenna's performance. Perfect for hams living in coastal areas or anyone curious about antenna performance. Don't miss this real-world experiment!
