I think I've finally found the cause of my problem. The PVC spacer that
goes around the driven element where it is attached to the boom plate has a

with more than acceptable results. When it comes to RF measurements that need

Yes, I think that is the correct description. I never could remember
the Scotch number. It is superior to using coax seal and comes off
with a simple slice of a razor knife. Scotch-70 is very
expensive. Scotch-88 is OK but Scotch-33+ seems more flexible in
cold temps. Tywrap idea
Thanks for the try Tom. No it is not transmitting. In fact, it is even
weirder than that, the finals heat up while the radio is turned off. It
draws 2 amps when off.

However, the analysis in this tome is rather flawed, which renders the
