Hi John,
Thanks for yours and Butches responses.
I'm gonna keep trying on cw on 20 and try to go back to cqs and see if I can be heard.
I also sent an email to Pat at handihams, about my situation, and I wanna see what he thinks about what I should do with the 120 as well.
So, for now, it's just a holding pattern, which is ok.
73,
Trippy, ac8s

  Even with blown finals, you'll get a few miliwatts out so someone in the 
  building will hear you no problem, try the next town or something.
