Logs, July 10

Yesterday I hooked up an antenna tuner (MFJ-948) to see if it would improve signals.  After comparing results with and without the tuner, it does give a few extra s points to strong signals on some bands (notably 19, 53 and 76 m), but seems to have little effect on 43 and 48 m.  Not sure if this is normal behaviour for a tuner, but I will take every s point I can get.
