8m QRP FT8

It looks like I need to re-do the antenna and coax for 8m. Someone suggested, (Paul I think) that I might have water in the coax. If this is the case, the minimum would be to redo the coax. Not being great at all on ladders (!) this is easier said than done!

For now, I shall have to remain QRT on 8m, although I must get back on again before the autumn F2 season.

Hello Roger, I don't like the idea to see you working on antennas en cables on a ladder. That's way too dangerous under your circuimstances. Is there no radioamateur in your neighbourhood who's a bit younger and can help you with these things? A lot of the younger HAMs also have facebook and I'm shure at least someone is willing to help you out. You can probabely ask. 73, Bas
