Dan, take the RCS-10 out and put a so-238(?) barrel connector in there and 
try again.....also, is your capacitor large enough?

  Paul

  I have not yet been able to try anything :-(

  I hope by Wednesday to start working on it , my plan is to ground the 
RCS-10 , and try retuning the amplifier , if I burn out another relay my 
plan is to totally rework the feedpoint of the antenna , move the switch to 
the otherside of the tower so there is about 4-5 feet from the Inv-L. I 
can't afford to burn up anything else.

  I will report the results.

  > it may be possible that the amp is tuned up for output on 80 meters.

  Excellent suggestion. Since the amp has an swr meter you can easily verify 
if it is tuned to 80 meters.
  Test it at the lowest power possible.
