Richard,
At my Club, I suggested that in stead of meeting is to do a drive through
and visit each ones shack on how it is set up, or at least during the
introduction is to describe there shack. They thought it was a cool idea,
so it was a topic of a meeting.
Then the conversations came alive.
Cool on your antenna, I am sure you will be able to get your swr under
control.
