Rewired the shack a bit, easier access to the tuner and all that. Then tried to tune up the antenna that had been re cut to compensate for the additional feed in the shack. SWR thru the roof, trimming not of benefit, tore the home brew tuner apart and back together; nothing, nichts, nada, nichivo! Then I check the only thing left- a coax pigtail that came with a name brand tuner ( No not MFJ, their stuff is like a Russian T34, simple, needs a hammer as a fine adjustment tool...) bum stuff-and I almost gave that tuner away. A Rat Shack pigtail, tunes right up and a 5W QSO with David in Magnolia TX. Why is it the solution to a problem is always the last place you look?
