Walcott Radio peak and tune

Reading about the same as before 1.3 on 1 1.5 on 20 and 1.8 on 40. Switched out 18 ft truck stop coax for 12 ft dx eng coax that was recommended to me.

Edit: just switched the coax yesterday and he is the only person I've talked with on the cb since the switch. Monday was talking with a base station in washington approx 15-20 miles away.

 

He's in a pete 579. I'm guessing it's on his side. I'm adding a few more ground straps I figure the more the merrier. I haven't been in a ideal location to test swr as well since I put the new coax in so gonna find a good open area today on my way to socal to test.

 

So the quality of someones set up plays a role in them receiving my transmissions? Made contact with quite a few different base stations in the Inland Empire (SOCAL) area this morning farthest contact was 40-60 miles however he was at a higher elevation so maybe that played a role.

 

Okay, I know that was probably a pretty obvious answer but me not having the full knowledge thought at the very least he could receive me but not transmit out as far.
