Are you tuning on the frequency on which you call CQ? I have been tuning when the bands are dead...but yes, I did that as the instructions for my tuner are a bit confusing. I cut my 20 m elements a few incehs long, maybe I need to trim them. On 40m now. |

Yep, I got nothing on this end. This S9 noise is killing everything. Lower in the band isn't bad but its full of QSO goers. Guess I will answer some of them for a while. Thanks anyways.
