Still not having much luck here. I shortened the dipole to try to cover the 2m band and did get more stuff coming in, but it was all noise. :blobfoxsad:

I can't realistically make the ladder line fully vertical due to space constraints. Maybe I just need to build a monopole instead? The balcony railing might make a good ground plane. :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

Or do folks think an external antenna tuner would be worthwhile here? :blobfoxthink:
