Anyone ever have the matching network apart on one of these.
The one on the North side of my shop failed recently. I have no idea
what happened other than when I went to use it night before last the
local repeater which is only 6 miles NE was barely audible. SWR was sky
high. Everything out tot he antenna appeared to be fine. So I swapped
it out with the spare and SWR is now good and repeater is full scale on
the receiver.
I pulled the sheath off and the elements appear to be fine.
BTW my max power from the shop is 50 watts on 2-meters, although that
antenna is rated for more than 300.
