Welcome to the club! What are you using to match the line to the radio?

Part of the problem here is being up on the 2nd floor with a porch roof
in the way. It puts the ground about 25' from the radio. A properly
balanced feed line eliminates the need for a "real" ground.

Although, I had a few RF issues with the station until I tied ALL the
equipment together with a solid ground buss behind it.
