I have a 100 Windom setup that is feed with dual RG6 coax that goes into a MFJ-962D antenna . tunner For the most part the setup works pretty good . I have never been able to tune 15m or 160m , but I could the rest of the bands . I always got a little RFI on 40m , but not so much that I couldn’t work . it Well something changed over the winter . I don’t know if it has anything to do with the antenna , or the ham shack . I just got done rack mounting my main rigs and I suppose that may have changed something . When I ran psk on 40m and 80m , I would get RFI and the rig
