[WriteLog] Xmit problem on 80 mtrs

[Bob Jensen - aa7fk]

Al K0AD and Mark WA9IVH,
 
THANKS for your prompt replies .. and I think you solved my problem.  When I read your responses then tried the module into a dummy load .. no problem, the xmit unkeyed as it should.  So something must be amiss at the antenna.  And of course it is very wet here :-).
 
Thank you so much for your insight, don't know why I didn't consider RF .. but you know blind spots show up :-).
 
Hope to catch ya both on the air soon.
 
73 & HNY
