Nobody here (Did talk a lot to the 3 Ham Members of my camping club).

I got the Pro Am 20m whip up and its swr is fabulous. Unfortunately nothing on 20m. Im a big heavy for my trailer ladder so I cannot change bands easy. I need to come up with a better idea for that.

Anyway, I took my rig over to a friends (He didnt bring his HF), to verify I didnt have a coax/Antenna issue with my new install. Same thing. 20 dead here in the Pacific NW. We are also down in a Valley between high mountains.

At least I know it plays.
