Antennas ⁽¹⁾

Things happen slowly here. Very slowly... I finally got some coax fed out through and air brick and connected the external random wire up that slopes down to the workshop so I cna use it without needing to open the shack window and feed a cable out. Experimenting, the tuner was happy on 6, 10 and 12 but less so on 15 with the rig seeing a SWR close to 3. It would tune 30m too but knocked the GPS signal to the clock off, clearly RF in the shack. I did not try lower because I then realised that, like a twit I forgot to fit the 1:1 unun! With the 1:1 unun installed outside the tuner was happy-ish with 15 but now not 12. Oh well. And it refuses to get below a SWR of 3.0 on 30m and is quite bad on 40m which is annoying, but on the plus side tuning does not knock the GPS clock off! I suspect I have managed to get an awkward length of wire so I will shorten it later on and expreiment further. Surprisingly, it is happy on 80m and it will tune 160m but that did knock the…
