retune or drag the wife everywhere you go to shoot some prop, tough choice :laugh::laugh: . But it does show just how important tuning antennas near metal objects can affect it, my mate had a similar dilemma, i'd tuned his hp4000 perfectly and we'd been using it non stop for months, he was sitting outside my mums house which obviously i know the environment in the street well as i grew up there, he phoned me to come out his swr was in the red, i laughed and said move away fae the lampost then (obviously with me, not as politely, lol), i had seen it detune plenty antennas over the years, thats why i always tuned antennas in that street right between lamposts which were about 50/60ft apart.
