Also did F/B checks and had good 10~15 dB F/B ratios swapping transformer positions on the EWE antenna with the new ground wire added---had to run a lower termination value for best F/B but that was expected.

The 160m band quiet this mid-morning--which is good because I also added a 50ft STP (shielded twisted pair---vs. UTP unshielded....) CAT5 cable to the home network yesterday with apparently no adverse background noise increase to the local radio environment.....
