Make sure:

1.  Some/all traps are not installed backwards.  Pull the black plastic
trap covers off.  The coil cover is screwed to the element and the screw
end should be towards the boom.
2.  The outer trap for the director is different from the driven and
reflector...make sure the director has the TB trap and the rest the
TC trap.
3.  When you have the black plastic trap covers off in 1. reseat the
screw that is attaching the cover to the element.  Sometimes this area
corrodes and makes a poor contact.
