i just tried to play radio and i think my antenna is dead. it was working last week but we've had nonstop heavy winds since then and i think it somehow broke something that was conductive, but not structral?? it's still, like, there, so i know it didn't snap, but i am scanning the band and hearing literally nothing, not even on ft8. tried transmitting a wspr beacon and two people in portland heard me and nobody else. same deal on ft8, same two people in portland and nobody. and the radio complained when i tried to do100 watts, which makes me think it's just using the coaxial as an antenna right now because something broke up on the efhw on the roof. which means i have to wait for the winds to die down and try and figure out what broke and see if i can fix it and uggh
