Hello
I have a KT34A that has been assembled for about 10 years.
For the past 3 to 4 years it hasn't been used much, until this year when =
sunspots=20
picked up. If fact, it has been lowered on a Hazer most of the time =
while I chased
DXCC on 40 and 80.
Now it seems like it just is not as good as it used to be--hard to break =
through pileups.
The SWR is perfect on all 3 bands with no tuner.=20
I have no proof, just a gut feeling(or question).
Can the SWR be perfect and still have something out of order?
Thanks
Bill W5EC
