In my case, what worries me is the problem seems to be worse
in a gentle breeze than a strong wind. About half the time
shaking the antenna seems to produce the problem and the
other half it doesn't. It is nearly always breezy at the
site which leads to a certain ambiguity on that test. I
guess I will see what happens when I swap out the antenna.
The original post did say it worked OK on split antennas,
but also mentioned it worked OK into a dummy load (I assume
he meant connected at the antenna port of the duplexer, but
I don't think that was specifically stated).
