/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1712928
Thanks for the advice, I'll give the reset a try.
I've yet to dabble in FT8/WSPR/RTTY, and most nights I've got other obligations(kids) or call it a night early. I do have the chance to play in the morning (4-5am), but without much luck.
I distinctly remember setting up a 20M mobile whip in the middle of the day one day in April this year and hearing Germany and India, so not getting that with a dedicated 40M antenna has been a bit of a bummer.
It's assuring to hear you can dx on a phone wire V antenna. I'll start sniffing out grounding and other issues. With a tuner, I have a 1:1 SWR.
