Hi List, Back in the late seventies, I had a TS520 Kenwood. When I went to tune it up, the load control had to be all the way clockwise. I knew that was wrong. I had a inverted V for 80 meters. It was a temporary installation and I had one end fastened to a tire tool stuck in the ground next to the mailbox. I went out to see what was wrong and I guess someone actually was low enough to steal the tire tool. Seems like most people would have grabbed it and turned the end of the antenna loose. They tied the antenna to the neighbor's chain link fence. Several feet of the end of the antenna was touching the fence. 73 Walt WA4QXT Quaker Hill CT [log in to unmask]
