In case you havent, a tape such as this

in Houston is necessary or your coax will go bad very very quick. Tape it
around the PL connectors. There are other kinds, but this one you can find at
Lowes or HD pretty easy.

All,
I have an OCF 80-10M dipole that I just hung between some trees in a new
location. I hung it yesterday (before all of the rain) and was able to tune it
on every frequency with my Yeasu FT-991A and make several FT-8 contacts. It
seemed to be working very well.
This morning, it will not tune on 80, 40, 30,17.
Any clues on what is going on? This is the second time I’ve had this issue -
last time it wouldn’t tune on 40 & 30 - I thought it had to do with being to
close to the house which is why I moved it. I sent it back to the person that
made it and they checked it out and sent it back to me.
Thanks,
Shannon
