Couldn’t get my Slidewinder to work on 6m so couldn’t join you there Pete. Bit bizarre really as I’ve used 17m antennas on 6m before, but I suspect the loaded element antenna isn’t the same as one without a loading coil. I tried the 40m setting on 15m and signals were well down on when I resonated the antenna on 15m.
As for 10m being duff, I didn’t think conditions were as good as last year. Rather disappointed with the outcome this time, but part of that was being rained off at half time.
