If so, how did I manage a QSO with K7NN on 1.893

Am I missing something here?


Feedline radiation? I once talked to New Zealand
on 40m SSB using a G5RV at 30 ft.

I thought about that since I don't use a balun (I know, I know -
I should). My feedline drops 20' down from the feedpoint then
runs ENE to my house for 40'. I've thought about a balun but
I only use the antenna on 160 & 80 and it seems to work well
so I don't want to mess with sucess.
