Try spreading the turns out evenly over the full diameter of the core.
Which core are we talking about? The manual says to "squeeze" the windings of L2 if the 40m power is lower than 20m. I tried that and it did seem to raise the 40m power, though still not as high as 20.
I think some of the extra power on 20m is due to the spurious sidebands that I observe. I really would like to understand what is causing that phenomenon because it tells me something just isn't right and because I don't feel comfortable operating with such a signal, despite the fact that other stations give me good reports.
