Hi

Well, in my move, I managed to bring the kenwood th f 6 a and the 
programming cable. The slim duck was giving me so so reports. Thus, I 
invested in a half wave vertical dipole. With great anticipation I tried my 
call sign on several repeaters with no response. I did notice that I was 
bringing up more machines than before. So, I waited until a QSO was in 
progress and gave my call. Well, the comment I received was that they 
thought someone might be in there but they couldn't hear enough to get the 
call. They indicated that it was a very bad signal. So, I am wondering if I 
have something set wrong on my radio? I know that I do not have my preferred 
MFJ ninny mic. However, I should be able to put in some type of reasonable 
signal, considering how strong the repeater sounded.

Any thoughts?

God bless,
Mark
