     Even though the SWR was around 1.5 yesterday, now it's over 4 despite no changes to the system. :blobfoxgooglycry: #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

     @kilroy_was_here I think I still have one of those hanging on our balcony, though I haven't used it much since I was working for 6m at the time. :blobfoxgoogly:
