Comments:

The antenna system I have at home leaves something to be desired.  In theory, it
is a 40 meter dipole and a 20 meter dipole sharing a common feedpoint just a
little above my roof (maybe 25' - 30' above ground) but in practice the antenna
is only vaguely resonant (5:1 SWR) on 40 meters, not resonant at all on 20
meters, and requires the rig's autotuner on all the bands I use it on.  I keep
thinking I should work on it, but I never do.

It's very eye-opening to me which S9 stations work me on one call and which CQ
as if I wasn't even there.  I also had one operator (a KH7 station) blatantly
steal a CQ frequency from me, acknowledging my presence as he did so, an
unpleasantness to which I am not accustomed when I operate high power from
stations with better-known callsigns.
