Subject: Sigma 5 - Effect of nearby objects on SWR?

Jim and all -

My Sigma 5 is about 5 feet from my garage. The only SWR issue I've noticed is
on 20 meters; when I move the antenna a bit, I have to retune 20. The other
bands stay where they were, all below 2:1.

Your manual should give a pretty good description of the procedure for tuning
20 meters...it's basically expanding or contracting 2 coils.
