Two weeks ago today I shipped my FT-1000MP off to Byron, WA4GEG for
service & tune -up. The rig was back here on this past Tuesday, a total
of 13 days including the weekend. It came home in great shape, working
like a champ, and with all issues addressed. There was no effort to fix
things th
Been reading in ON4UN low band dxing book about mulitable element receive
arrays for 160 meters. I'm a little confused about 180 deg phase inverters,
and flip transformers are these two the same thing?
I never heard of "flip transformers" before, but in context of the

I do the same thing with my pennant termination resistors (just cover them
with GE Silicone II sealant).

I can't do Beverages on my city lot, but I do use carbon comps exposed to
the weather in my terminated "KAZ" receiving loops, with no apparent
detrimental effects after years in the weather.
Perhaps we shouldn't abuse electronic components (even resistors) with heat
guns?

I've covered my resistors and solder joints with GE Silicone II sealant
and have never had a problem. The curing does not impact solder joints
and I've used this product for some 20+ years.
I can't measure any resistance using it.
It cures in several hours similar to a rubbery type substance. And
