2025-01-29 17:20:29 GMT seasonde visited site to inspect an d swap SSD. Added anchor stake with hose clamp to base of RX antenna. TX antenna needs to be moved seaward soon due to erosion on the back side of the dune caused by the town removing that sand because it was overwhelming the retaining wall along the edge of the beach entry.

2025-02-05 20:53:08 GMT seasondevisited site to move TX antenna forward ~20ft due to dune erosion from the back. Reterminated the TX cable at base of antenna since the collar twisted with the cable. Moved TX antenna forward and installed new stakes. Test forward power and it looked fine. Lowered antenna to remove tuning coil strap and tape up antenna. Raised antenna again and now forward power was 23W forward and 17W reflected. Reterminated TX cable again in case pin was too recessed. No change. Put down that TX antenna and installed spare TX antenna from tractor barn. Reflected power was the same. Attached tuning coil strap and VSWR dropped to 3.5:1 which is still not suitable for operation. Tried to dissemble TX antenna from HEMP to bring back to Rutgers but the pieces were stuck together. Left at HEMP for now. Need to return to troubleshoot reflected power issues. Handel & Stolarz
