I've finally been able to do some antenna experimenting since I got the talking
swr meter.  Now I can tell what's happening when I make changes rather than just
when the autotuner will tune it out.  I've been messing with straight wire
antennas and different configurations on my g5rv.  I'm currently enjoying an
inverted V configuration with it that seems to work pretty well for dx.  Its
great not to have to have eyes to use that meter and still know what's going on.
