I have just two quick tips... First this understand these guys have BIG BOOM Antenna so when you get a 5/5 or 5/4 or 5/3 "You give them a 5/1 or a 5/2 so it's hard hearing you.. I don't know your antenna or Power your using as your meter is set on SWR. When calling them back try to be more of Frequency so your 5/1 5/2 will have a better chance of Them hearing you better.. 73 Chris Your Ham Radio Elmer.
I was using an half wave end fed at 50W in this instance. I’m in an HOA so I deploy antennas temporarily. Instead of letting the HOA get me down, I see it as a challenge! 😃 So I try to be stealthy and try different configurations with end feds, dipoles and verticals and do the best I can with what I’ve got. Even after almost 10 years in the hobby, I’m still learning each time I’m on the air. Thanks for the advice! 73!!
