It's not a big problem with my Ampro whips as the adjustment can be marked on the whip part with a small score, and alternatives can be marked also. Then all you need is the hex key for a quick change. I realise other antennas might not be so easy.

Re: Antennas
I used a 40m dipole (well it's a linked dipole for 20,40 and 60) when portable and its very good. Do you only operate on 40m or do you have several antennas and a switching system? It would be good to have 20,40 and 80 at least.

Antennas
I've been experimenting with home HF antennas without much success. Today I noticed many regular stations were giving out reports of 57 or more stations that were 33 for me. Now I know my 1/2 size G5RV has got to go but I'm curious to know what others use to get such a good performance. For example,...

Re: Trig point activation rules and guidelines?
The multi-band tracker sheet seems to give SSB as the only mode that can be accepted. Is this the case, i.e. is FM not acceptable. Many of the highest summits are activated with a VHF FM handy and so chasers have no option but to use the same mode. Thanks.

Advice needed - Trigs Tomorrow
I was planning to do some but I understand band conditions were poor today (but I was at work so didn't experience it myself). Tuesday was bad too. If you were on 40m today can you tell me if it was usable please? I don't want to waste my time going up to north Powys if I can't do inter G. Thanks. 7...
