at least until you get an antenna with some gain

Jim,

I came to the same conclusion that iy must be the 17m dipole, I
guess I got too fixed on looking for resonance (old harmonic
relationships). Anyway, this coming weekend I will put up a dipole
and make some comparisons and come back with the results.


Thanks!


Charlie.
