Which core are we talking about?  The manual says to "squeeze" the windings
of L2 if the 40m power is lower than 20m. I tried that and it did seem to
raise the 40m power, though still not as high as 20. 

I think some of the extra power on 20m is due to the spurious sidebands that
I observe. I really would like to understand what is causing that phenomenon
because it tells me something just isn't right and because I don't feel
comfortable operating with such a signal, despite the fact that other
stations give me good reports.
