Grounding...and vehicle installs (which I've apparently been doing wrong)
#howto
Good to know! So I guess I'm ok with both +/- fused and straight to battery terminals. That is how they are all set up now. Radios sound good so probably shouldn't mess with it. Rob KM6YKX

I like the net idea too. I've also had success with getting on the W6EK repeater (or other repeaters) and seeing if anyone wanted to try say 80 meters in the middle of the day (or 6, 10, 17, whatever)

Antenna Help
I had a similar problem in the past. With my issue, it was an unsoldered/corroded connection at the feed point. SWR looked good until power was applied. I think it has to be a bad connection/corrosion
