Problem solved. It was a dodgy coax switch the was not causing much of a problem for strong local signals but not good enough for the weaker stuff. I heard AO-85 from the WA/SA border to nth of PNG on the last pass with strong sigs when it was west of me. My antenna is a fixed horizontal LPY. No stations heard unfortunately and no response to my calls.
