[Lowfer] " XR " antenna changes

[Andy - KU4XR]

I had the ant wire running down my pvc for abt 8 feet, then the
PVC was nailed to a homemade wooden A-Frame mast laid against
my trailer. The wire ran down the wooden mast, tied to it to keep 
it from swaying in the wind. evidently when the wood gets wet, it
" sucks up " the RF, or appears to anyway. I pulled the wire away 
from the mast and the trailer body by about 6 feet, and the output 
meter shot back up. That may not mean anything; only reports will 
tell if it helped.  Merry Christmas everyone
