What happened to the bands??? I know operating QRP is supposed to be
chalanging but this was unreal. It was like having a 30db of
attenuation. Lost my remote antenna switch the first night, so I?had to
run coax during the next day. Lost out on the low bands the first night.
Thanks to all for their patience.
