Again, good to know. If I can rule out any effect from the heavy timber
(which I can't do anything about), I can focus on the grounding.
Additionally, as my beverage is tilted up at a 15 to 18 degree angle into
the desired RX direction, I am wondering more about the effect of the signal
energy arriving at a much lower relative angle to the wire. I dug out my
spool of wire and now it's time to talk to the neighbors.
