Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. My C3E, which was working great, all of a sudden developed SWR of 3:1 on all bands and throughout all bands. (no dip varying the freq). Visually, all elements are in place, wires out of balun are still connected.. It is at 9,000 ft. in Colorado, so no corrosion or salt. We have not had any lightning yet either. It has been up only 2 years. The only think I can think of is the balun. The ant. is at 100 feet on top of a 40 mtr beam, it is not possible to get at and inspect. It will have to be lowered. I thought If I have a crane lower it (put it up that way and it was easy) I would like to be able to repair and get back up while crane is still available. I have replaced the coax to the shack.. Anyone experience anything similar to this? Thanks 73 Ken W0LSD -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
