This is the weirdest thing that has ever happened 
to me during operation: the MT-3000A tuner gave 
birth to an internal servo!! Several days I had 
a problem with an unstable SWR on 7 MHz. It very 
much resembled the creeping of SWR with undersized 
ferrite transformers, BUT I did not have any for 
this vertical... Tonight, while working DL5RMH 
I saw the left hand knob of the tuner slowly 
turn off-position. Once caught, it did do it 
over and over again... very slowly... always 
mis-tuning the antenna. It was not the weight 
of the rotary capacitor blades (I know that 
effect). I have to open it it and examine...
 
Usually we don't need an exorcist, but the 
feeling was close... Despite this, a lot of 
fun compared to the 1700Z Minitest-40. There 
is a dip in the Winter 7 MHz conditions in 
the 1600Z - 1800Z window at our latitudes. 

Cheers/73, Zaba OH1ZAA #1856 (had to block 
the tuner shaft rotation with a screwdriver).
