Hi.
I am trying to get a Cushcraft 402CD to work. It was given to me by
somebody who had stored it for
a considerable time in his garage. I assemble it, using some lube on
the aluminium joints etc and
checked all measurements. I fed it with a velocity corrected piece of
coax via a 1:1 balun and put
it up. It is only at about 30ft, but the resonance is around 6.8MHz
and the SWR is about 3:1.
I think it should be much better than that, but can't find any
problem with it. I am now suspecting
the loading coils and their connections. Although the insulation
looks fine, has anybody else had
problems with these? I am clutching straws now!!

Ironic:
The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be
distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.
Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to
"please do not feed the animals" because the
animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves... (Think
about that).
