I am still active, just not on HF so much lately. I really need a better HF antenna. Even my 2M/440/6M vertical is starting to show signs of aging. I actually suspect water on the coax. It has been up now for over 5 years without being touched.... I need to tune the 6M side, and replace the coax with some good stuff... SWR is starting to rise on the lower end of 2M... Still acceptable, but up to about 1.8:1 or more. I think the coax has been rubbing against the concrete chimney and wearing through the jacket, allowing water to enter.
No one has complained about my signal on the local repeaters though, so it cannot be to bad I hope.
