Well today I checked ground from antenna to the mounting post. All good. Gave me a tone and then check ohms.. got a 0.06 on meter.. also thru ground wire I attached half way down post gave me the same 0.06 and good solid tone as well.

Now I just need a rod to ground too. Currently I just buried the end in the dirt a few inches down.. lol

I reset my SWR to be 1.1 or so ch 1 and flat on ch 40 when just the radio in place.. with TS350 I get 1.2 or so on both ends.. so I think that's good.

I noticed today static is not as bad and I talked on ch 19 to a driver about 20 miles away and heard him clearly over the 1-2 of hash on my end..

I also noticed it isn't constant.. so maybe it's a neighbor..

Still going to try snap on ferrite just outside shack wall and do ground rod.
