I agree.? I use wire antennas extensively when portable.? Some nights when it is windy, the tuner will want to re-match the wire as the wind blows it in and out of tree limbs etc.? The ability to “Lock-In” a good tune to keep the tuner from trying to make it better helps.? Invariably, when the tuner attempts a retune, it always gets worse before it gets better.

This photo was last week.? It was 110-ft of wire, 40-ft vertical and the rest sloping down to a fence-line off to the right.? Operated on every band except 160m.

The canyons are calling, colorful and deep.? But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go still in my Jeep...?? And miles to go still in my Jeep...

ADVENTURE:? The respectful pursuit of trouble.??

An EXIT is really an ENTRANCE to someplace new.?

It isn’t an ADVENTURE until something goes wrong!
