Another thing about hearing and knowing the code is the errors you get if you use the calls posted to log. I usually don't go "assisted" but did this contest because I wasn't in it to compete but to give Q's to those in competition and I was on a time constraint. One call, I don't remember

I believe he is actually operating into an antenna on Ant1 port. He switched to Ant2 to check the port isolation and would obviously switch back to Ant1 to operate.  I doubt grounding the non-selected antenna port would make any difference on TX and some use both ports for diversity RX.  If

Paul, There is some stray coupling between ANT1 and ANT2, but no direct path. The unused antenna is not grounded. One reason is that it can be used to feed the subRX AUX ANT input when using diversity. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/28/2017 2:36 AM, Paul Ormandy wrote: Hi all,     When messing
