Default New antenna

With 2 4 foot square alum panels 4 foot apart with circular
polarised 160M antenna in the capacitive field.All bands were S0
with 160M very active with strong signals. Could hear noise
and some static crashes from a distance but none that
affected S meter position. Early days yet but would appear I am
duplicating lower antenna of a stack since the S meter was at
rest when no signal present.

Sounds fairly grim if you plan to transmit using that device..
Lots of loss somewhere.
This is not a good development, being this seems to be the
second faulty unit you have produced in row.
Or should I say stack...
Please reboot and try again.
