I don't have too much of a problem. Yes I do use it on a tripod. I took it over to the RV today. Where we store the RV is close to the bay. I worked Seattle, Portland, on 40, 20, 10, I worked a station in Montana, and one in Utah, and another in Iowa, on 75/80. Without an amp. So part of it is conditions and location, and how you are set up.
