Wow, You know I've done that test 4 times now and this time it was really
different on 3 bands on 30,40,15 meters I get 8.4v. That is very different
from before. They were always within range.
Before I did Phase III, my voltages were
40m hi=1.7 / lo=3.2
30m hi=3.5 / lo=4.1
15m hi=2.6 / lo=5.3 now for all three of those bands only it's
hi-8.4 / lo=8.4 so what did I do to throw all that off? Just
phase III.
I don't get it. You know, I'm so close now I can taste it! I have to
break off for family for a while then I'm going to look in on that speaker
advice you gave me. It can only be so many things, right? Then we'll nail
it down.
Thanks,
Roland in Stockton
