When I lay it over I'll go over it. I'll check the coax again, and perhaps eliminate the choke as a possible improvement maker. As for the white noise, it seems to be a continuous problem at this location. I'll need to measure the antenna again to be sure of my model. I have a sloper dipole up that is noisier than the Qv4k, but it seems noisier than the 5/8.
Even tonight I broke to some stations on a channel I've been talking on for the past year and a half. A station I've gotten 5 S units and matching audio from on the 5/8 was received as 1 S unit and matching audio on the Qv4k. I think I'll revisit all the joints on the antenna, too. Check it real close and see what I get.
