I need to seriously improve my antenna. Think my SWR might to too high to transmit on 15m.
30 is coming in loud and clear? |

30m isn't working for me. I'm not hearing anyone and no one is hearing me according to PSKReporter.

ok,not sure what to try.
I'm going to double the length of my end feed, and raise it up a little higher. Soon as I get a hold of a extension ladder. |

10m-20m
I was looking at some DX maps and 20m seemed to be good from me to the east coast. 15m looks promising too. |

My current antenna sucks @ 20m, and I disconnected my attic 20m dipole.

Try some digital modes. PSK31 or JT65. They seem to work better in crappy situations.

Anyone up for a 80m QSO? I installed a new Inverted-V today for this band. The wind was blowing at 60MPH. I figured it was perfect weather to hang a new antenna. SWR is centered at 3875kHz.
