Topband: Some experiments with a short beverage, not succeeding very well

[Mark Lunday]

Thanks everyone for the help and guidance.

I am using the DX Engineering 9;1 transformer, brand new.  I also tried the KD9SV BOG 4:1 transformer but it was even worse.

I shall attempt to utilize a pre-amp, and re-check all connections and coax, and install the new ground rod, and utilize the antenna analyzer for continuity.
