Hi Steve
Yes that 30-80 module was a bit tricky but was nice to have. I have about
69ma on 80 meters in receive but not sure what to advise. There are some
pretty sharp guys on here that may have some ideas but thought I'ld let you
know what readings I had.
I also found the atu was a bit touchier

Any suggestions ?

Used that way, the G5RV is identical to the common multi-band doublet used

Wow - nice. Did you see that silver tongued devil that
they hired to impersonate Wayne? Slick. And the
preposterous things he was saying about the radio.
Sure, they probably got him from Hollywood or
