My thanks to everyone for their feedback and suggestions yesterday regarding my distortion problem. After trying a several things that you suggested, but to no avail, I am quite sure that I have an common mode RF problem. I will be going after it with common mode chokes as described by Jim, K9YC, in his document, "A Ham's Guide to RFI, Ferrites, Baluns, and Audio Interfacing." It will take a bit of time to get the chokes placed at the feed point of my HexBeam as we still have about 18" of snow on the ground here in Michigan and I won't be tilting my tower over until it is gone.
There are a few other things I can try in the shack to temporarily work around the problem, but I really want to get to the bottom of it and not just put a Band-Aid on the symptoms. This group is a wonderful resource. Thank you all.
