Re: Antenna recommendation for 40 and 80M bands
Good point.
I will do check on the possibility that mains earth is connected to the water pipe. I have a cut mains plug with 3x open wires at the other end.
I will plug it into the mains socket, and read connectivity from the earth wire from the plug, and the water pipe. If they are connected, then yes, the mains system is using the water pipe as earth too.
If not, then likely it is separated, and clear?
Without the ATU, SWR on all bands are between 1.5:1 to 3:1
