NEED A LITTLE INFO PLEASE HAVE A inverted L antenna it runs from my Auto Tuner right at my window and slopes at a 45 degree angle to a tree 30 up in the air and then horizontal 50 feet. THE ANTENNA tunes up on 80 meters 1.4 SWR at 100 watts forward power SWR ANTENNA 1.4 REFLECTED POWER 3 watts have a heavy duty ground from tuner down 4 feet to a 15 foot buried ground rod . Under my in verted L have a ground system, hooked up which was running in all directions from a vertical antenna that broke during a hurricane. So I attached my grounding system counterpoise to the inverted L . Signal levels NW 20/9 NE SAME GOING WEST SAME GREAT SIGNAL LEVELNiORTH AROUND TX OK BORDER AND BEYOND. ONE STATION IN DALLAS sometimes hear me good other times can't hear me on 80 meters at 8 am band changes due to fading. This ham says I need a antenna . Most other reports are good when I'm on 80 at night USA WIDE. The one station that says im usually not hearing me in Dallas might either be in a nul point or im hoping over him and know in Whiticha Falls my signal levels are 20/9 I think everything is fine otherwise Any comments would be helpful Thank You see antenna picture
