7Mhz Vertical antenna  ^pop - The secret with this antenna is to install as many radials as you can around the base of the antenna, they can be anything from 1/8 wave or longer.

SWR: Maximum allowable VSWR - VSWR (voltage-standing-wave-ratio) represents the degree with which an antenna is "matched" to the system impedance. Most modern antennas do not require any tuning for optimum performance. VSWR is one of the easiest parameters to measure and VSWR meters are becoming very popular antenna installation tools
