I'd appreciate thoughts about what I *think* I hear! I normally use K2/100, KAT100, BL1 (4:1 balun), open wire feeder and 84' dipole - works fine. 80m is noisy but I get a good match on all bands. I recently connected a Z-match tuner (old KW Easi Match - like the Johnson Matchbox) to the output of the KPA100 (bypassing the tuner and balun) and fed the same open wire feeder and antenna. The contrast between QSOs and the noise on 80 increased (copy much easier). S meter peaks the same and match is as good.
Am I imagining this, or is there a reason? Thanks.
