Thanks to one and all for replies. It appears that the antenna is fine, the
balun is bad, intermittent. So I have a kind volunteer from this group who is
going to replace my balun with the Centaur one I got model B11Y10-50. It is
definitely a current balun, not a voltage balun like the one I put up
mistakenly. It is substantially larger and hardware looks better than the
cheapo Van Gordon one I have been using. So I guess I will be keeping the A3S
a while longer and saving my money for a C3SS in the future due to all the
favorable comments here. And thanks the Chuck K0XM who so kindly offered to
help.
