I take it that your rig does not have a built-in tuner? Do you
have anything to check the SWR of your antenna system? <br>

<div dir="ltr">Been playing with HF, finding it very easy to hear
CW from all over the world particularly on 7 and 14mhz
frequencies. But there is a tremendous amount of static in the
background, don't know if that is me or something external. I am
finding it very difficult to get myself heard and I think I
really need an antenna tuner. Still trying to find a Yaesu FC-10
to make it easy to do the tuning, but I may have to break down
and buy something else. The FC-800 I bought is for end-fed wire
antennas or long whip antennas. I don't think it will work with
my HyGain AV-14.

<div>Oh, well, maybe I just picked a less than optimal week to
get started with HF. We'll see.</div>
