Hello Guys !

Yesterday I repaired the fron driven element of my KT34XA but forgot to inspect 
for water inside the capacitors.
Infact, after repair, the SWR is very high (10 watts test). The element was 
standing vertical for more than one month so maybe it collected water.

Question is: how long it takes to have not water inside the capacitors waiting 
for normal evaporation time ?

Do you believe it's better to put down the element again or to wait until 
water/swr disappear ?

Thanks for your answers in advance...

Regards,
Fabio, IT9GSF.
