Yes, I did say I won't run anything higher than a 1.3 on my antenna systems. Are you trying to say I shouldn't bother tuning my antenna systems for max efficiency because "most hams" don't? Or that you're the first person to recognize that antennas can momentarily change in tune when they move or when it rains or snows on them? Most hams are appliance operators (I'm also a ham, I've met and talked to them) who rely on tuners or will run excessively high SWR because some book or manual told them it's perfectly fine. The OP is asking about the tune on a monoband (11 Meters) antenna system, not a multiband hambone antenna.
