I had a USN antenna experience with an improperly-modified shipboard HF XMIT
antenna. The Radiomen said it was hard to
tune to it, the reflected power was always high and they never seemed able
to "get out on it" (meaning poor reception reports from the distant end).

When we put the antenna right, all their problems went away.

Hi OM,

What was the problem, and what did you do to fix it?
