Greeting Topband Group,
I've been shunt feeding my tower for probably the last 20 years. I've used a 1000PF vacuum variable and a second vacuum variable for a omega match configuration. Last week, I added a 2 EL 40 meter yagi to the tower and removed an OptiBeam 30/40 rotary dipole. Of course, with the additional top loading, the match is out of wack. When I attempted to adjust the series capacitor, it appears to be frozen and won't move. Any thoughts on how to possibly fix the CAP or does anyone have a 1000PF vacuum variable available for sale. I'd sure like to get this resolved quickly. 73, and thanks in advance for your input. Bob K3UL _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
