I just erected a 10m dipole (a Hy-Gain tape dipole) tuned for 28.3. The analyzer says it's centered about 28.4, actually. It's strung between two trees and is very near the motor home. My IT-100 will tune it on several bands, on all of which I can hear stuff.
But I can't hear the converter anywhere. No noise at all. I turned the converter on and off many times and heard no change. I'm reassured.
Now let's see whether I can work anyone on 10m. The dipole is only about 20 feet in the air, so my take-off angle is probably a bit high. We'll see.
