While waiting on favorable weather to get my SteppIR down for repair, I put up
an R8.
I have it up 10' and the mast is grounded as per the instructions. It's 40 feet
from
the house, is as clear a spot as I have on my 1/2 acre lot. I'm feeding it with
Buryflex.
The SWR is very good, but it's more or less a dummy load, and seems to hear a
lot
better that it talks. Normally I have to run a K to work a DX station that's
coming
in S5 to S7. The highest my S meter (calibrated) has read is S9.
Any hints or kinky?
73, Mike NF4L
