Ok Jim, The reply from WB5ITT is exactly how I would start. If you would like me to look at it, I could do that too. No charge - finding the problem and getting you back on the air is my enjoyment. A bad transformer is virtually the only expensive part and I have never heard of one failing.

Re: [BVARC] masts & towers

If you attend any area Hamfest with an ARRL forum, John Stratton N5AUS (ARRL board member and civil trial attorney) will tell you that an HOA is no excuse for putting up an antenna. He can feed you ammunition if there is an issue with your HOA. My HOA has a vague statement about antennas 10 ft
