GOOD NEWS: I shall FART AGAIN!! I had been off air after my transmitter would not stay up and kept tripping off due to SWR's and nothing I did could fix it.
A buddy came by who is much more knowledgeable about these things and helped me. We did a test today on 6955kHz after loading the transmitter into the fire escape stairs outside my apartment. Ran a full 400 watts and full modulation.. and it worked beautifully.
Well, as beautifully as farts radiating from a set of fire escape stairs can be.
And Yes, I am dead serious about loading the transmitter into the stairs
