I've been using RG-8 for most of my comms. Not a problem so far. I notice
that my transmit is much faster than my receive in that I can talk to
stations several minutes before they answer me.

Since my RG-8 runs uphill, I am assuming that my outgoing power takes a bit
longer to get to the antenna. Meanwhile, the incoming signal comes down the
antenna wire and blocks out some of my outgoing signal. Since the incoming
signal is running down hill it is faster than the uphill signal.

Is there some way I can get around this? Can I change the angle of the
uphill wire to slow down my transmissions? Can I make my downhill wire
longer so it will slow down the incoming transmissions? Or should I make the
uphill transmission wire longer and talk slower?
