Hi Gregg,

I've not had problems running outdoors. But I'm curious if you've tried
retuning once outside? If
the walls and ceiling are loading a large external capacitance on the coil,
then it's possible that
once outdoors, the extra wall-ceiling capacitance is no longer there -
which may require tuning.
Also, to minimize further changes, be sure to run the coil at the same
height off the ground as
indoors and to ground it in similar fassion. I can't think of anything else
if everything remained
the same.

Take care,
Bart
